This document explains how to upload, edit, delete, filter, sort, and search media files inside the Backend Dashboard’s Media Library.

Overview

The Media Library helps you organize and manage all files used across the website, including:

  • Images

  • Audio files

Upload and Manage the Media Library Assets


Step 1: Open the Media Library

After logging into the Admin Dashboard:

  • Go to the Media Library section
  • This is where you can upload new files, manage existing files, and remove unwanted ones

Step 2: View All Media Files

Inside the Media Library, you will see a list of all uploaded files such as:

  • Images
  • Videos
  • PDFs
  • Audio files

To upload new files, click the “Upload New Media” button.


Step 3: Choose Files to Upload

Click the upload area to open your device’s file browser.

This allows you to select files from your computer or mobile device.


Step 4: Upload Multiple Media Files

You can upload up to 20 files at the same time.

After selecting files:

  1. Make sure all selected files appear in the preview
  1. Click Upload Media to save them into the Media Library

Your files will now be available for use throughout the website.


Step 5: Adjust How Many Media Files You See Per Page

Click this icon to change the number of items displayed on the page.

You can choose page sizes such as 16, 32, or 64 to view more or fewer files at once.

This helps when browsing large media collections.


Step 6: Change the Page Size

Adjust the page size to display more or fewer media items.

Example:

If you choose 32, the page will show 32 files at once.


Step 7: Filter Media by Type

Use the filter options to display only specific types of media.

For example:

  • Select Images to see only image files
  • Select Videos to see only video files
  • Select Audio to see only audio files
  • Select PDF / Documents to see only document files

This makes it easier to locate the type of file you need.


Step 8: View Only Videos or Other File Types

Similarly, choosing Videos will show only video files, and selecting other file types will filter them accordingly.


Step 9: Filter Media by Date or Name

Use the filter options to refine your search even further.

You can filter by:

  • Date (newest or oldest)
  • Name (alphabetically)

This helps you locate files quickly.


Step 10: Sort Media Files

You can sort media files in:

  • Ascending order (A → Z or Oldest → Newest)
  • Descending order (Z → A or Newest → Oldest)

Sorting allows you to view files in the order that works best for you.


Use the search bar to find media by its name.

This is useful when you have a large collection of media files and need to quickly locate one specific file.


Step 12: Download a Media File

Click the download icon to download any media file to your device.

This allows you to review, share, or reuse files outside the system whenever necessary.


Step 13: Edit a Media File

To update the details of a file:

  • Click the edit icon next to that file

This opens a popup where you can modify information about the media.


Step 14: Update Media Information

In the edit popup:

  • You can update the Title of the media
  • You can update the Alt Tag, which helps with accessibility and SEO

After entering the updated information:

  • Click “Edit Media” to save the changes

Step 15: Confirmation After Editing or Deleting

After editing, you will see a message such as:

  • “Media Updated Successfully”

You can also delete any media by clicking the delete icon.


Step 16: Successful Media Deletion

After deleting a media file, a confirmation message will appear, such as:

  • “Media Deleted Successfully”

This confirms that the file has been removed from the Media Library.

Important Notes

  • You can upload different types of files such as images, PDFs, audio, videos, and other documents. You can upload up to 20 files at a time, including compressed files, as long as each file is not larger than 30 MB.
  • You can edit image titles and alt tags, and download any file to your device directly from the Media Library.

Summary

Using the Media Library, you can easily upload multiple files, edit media details, delete unwanted media, and search, sort, or filter files to stay organized. This helps keep your website’s media content clean, updated, and easy to manage.
