File Manager: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:23, 3 March 2010

The file manager is your main file management area. Here you can upload files to be used on your website, as well as delete existing files, and create or manage file collections. Paid plan users can also access our Stock Photo Library here.

Files that you upload are automatically organized by type. If you're having trouble finding a file you've uploaded, try using the filter to narrow the list down by clicking on any of the filter tabs at the top of this lightbox.

Where to Find:

This area can be found in the "Files" section of the "My Content" area on the Toolbar.

File details:

Moving your cursor over the file icon in the main file area and clicking on the button will allow you to manage some file details.

Here you can set the file Title and Description and acquire the file address if necessary.

Deleting a file:

Need to delete a file? You can do this by moving your cursor over the file icon in the main file area and clicking on the File:Deleteicon.PNG button. You will be prompted to confirm deletion first, which will prevent accidentally deleted files.

-Because our standard uploader is flash based, in some rare cases, this may result in difficulties in uploading files. We have added a basic uploader as an alternative in these cases. To access it, just click the '''basic uploader''' link at the top of the uploading area.
