Upload and store images¶
Note
Some options may not be available depending on your configuration and permissions.
Manage folders¶
By default, uploaded files are stored in the Media root folder of the content tree. If you want to upload them to different location, navigate to the folder you want to upload to.
You can also create additional folders and sub-folders to further organize your images.
Add image to create an image asset¶
1. In the main menu, go to Content -> Media -> Images.
2. In the upper-right corner, click Create content.
3. From the available content types, select Image and click Create.
4. Provide image title and optionally, a description.
5. In the Image section, click Upload file and from the system browser, select an image.
6. In the Alternative text field, provide an alternative description intended for users with vision impairment.
Use AI to generate alternative text
If the AI Actions LTS update has been installed and configured in your application, the Use AI button is visible. If you have the required permissions, you can click it to have the alternative text generated automagically. The Go to AI actions button can also visible to users with access to the Admin UI. By clicking it, you can quickly navigate to AI actions configuration.
6. To find images using tags, in the Tags field, enter keywords.
Tagging image assets helps keep the media library organized and enables searching images by tags in the DAM.
7. Click Publish.
Note
The maximum file size and file extension limitations may differ depending on your configuration.
Edit image assets and images¶
After you upload the image to create an image asset, you can adjust it according to your needs. For detailed instructions on how to edit images, see the Edit images.
Copy, move or hide image assets¶
To learn how to effectively manage image assets, see Move assets between folders section.
Upload multiple images¶
To upload multiple images and create many image assets, you can use multi-file upload.
1. In the Media section, go to the folder you want to upload to.
2. Go to the Sub-items tab and click Upload.
3. In the pop-up window, drag and drop files into the Upload area or click Upload file and select image files from the system browser.
Add translations¶
If you work with multiple languages and want to use searching by languages in DAM, you can add translations to image assets. You can replace the contents of all the fields that have values in the base language, for example, the description, or the alternative text.
To see how to add translations, go to translate content section.
