Media Gallery Asset Management

The new Media Gallery provides tools for managing uploaded media files, and assets that you acquire through an Adobe Stock integration. If you have saved an Adobe Stock image preview, you can also license the image in the new Media Gallery.

Upload an asset

1. On the Admin sidebar, go to Content > Media > Media Gallery.

2. Click Upload Image.

3. Select the file to be uploaded.

   The selected asset is automatically uploaded to the selected folder (or to the storage root if no folder is selected).

View asset details

1. On the Admin sidebar, go to Content > Media > Media Gallery.

2. Click the three dots below the asset (), then click View Details.

   

   The asset details are displayed on a slide panel. They include the information where the asset is being used:

   • Categories
   • Products
   • Pages
   • Blocks

   

   To see the details, click the Used In links . The grid in the following example shows all categories where a specific asset is used.

   

   It is also possible to delete the asset from the View Details section.

   You can download the image with the updated metadata.
