Using the Media Library Efficiently
The media library stores every image, document and file you upload. Kept tidy, it is a powerful asset; left to grow wild, it becomes a frustrating jumble nobody can search.
This guide shares simple habits to keep your media organised, easy to find and free of duplicate clutter.
Keeping It Tidy
A little discipline at upload time saves hours of hunting later. The library can grow to thousands of files quickly.
- Name files clearly before uploading.
- Reuse existing images rather than re-uploading.
- Add alt text and titles as you go.
- Delete genuinely unused files periodically.
Finding What You Need
Good naming makes the search box your friend. You can filter by type and date too.
- Search by part of the file name.
- Filter by media type, such as images only.
- Sort by date to find recent uploads.
- Check whether a file is in use before deleting it.
Frequently Asked Questions
If I delete an image, does it disappear from pages too?
Yes. Deleting a file from the library removes it everywhere it is used, leaving broken images. Always check usage first.
