File Manager
The File Manager functions as a media library for your stock images, pictures and downloadable files. With this tool it is possible to add, edit and delete files.
The File Manager can be found on the left side menu of the Content tab of the editor but all files are then accessible in the Build area of the editor when working with relevant functionality (e.g. adding a background image to a row, adding a file to the download module, etc.). For a visual representation of this topic, please watch the video below:
1. Local Files
The Local Files tab shows existing uploaded files, to which you can add more or edit/delete.
2. Upload Files
To upload a new file, click on + Upload Files and choose the file you wish to upload from your computer locations. Alternatively you can just drag the file you wish to upload into the image area available.
3. Sort By
To organize the files in a more effective manner, it is possible to sort the order in which they appear in the manager. It is possible to sort the files by creation date, name, type, size and how commonly used they are.
4. Delete Files
To delete a file, click on it to select it - the image should be outlined in green. You can select multiple files in this way and to delete them just click on the Delete Selected Files button on the top of the File Manager.
5. Search
Once you have a large and complete library, it might become difficult to look for a specific image or file. This tool allows you to search your whole library based on the complete or partial file name.
