Back to Uploading Documents to the Media Library Tutorial
welcome in this video we're going to
review how to upload documents to your
media library now your media library can
be accessed by clicking on content and
then going over to the media tab over
here all the documents and images and
even videos that we upload are going to
go to this media library and once it's
uploaded into the media library you can
reference those documents or images or
whatever across basically your whole
site now to upload a document there's a
couple ways you can do that one ways you
can use these menu options appear so if
we hover over content add media you can
choose document you'll choose the
document from your computer note that
there are restrictions to what file
types you can choose I'll choose my file
real quick
you
give it a name there's a couple fields
for description here this one allows you
to add a description that's used as the
label of the link to the file and this
one is a description for SEO you can use
these this related tags field to relate
this piece of media this document with
other documents or other other files
that are in my media library by creating
a tag with a shared term so if you've
already created a tag before it'll pop
up below or if it's a brand new one you
can just kind of type it in you can add
multiple tags by clicking this add
another item button otherwise if you
don't do any of that the only required
fields part of these two up to top to
give you your media name and then upload
the file once you've done that you can
click Save
and you'll see you'll get a confirmation
message saying that you've created this
document and if I scroll down my newly
uploaded document will be right here at
the top of the list now the other way
that you can upload documents is on the
fly as you're creating a piece of
content so for example let's say that I
am creating a basic page
and I forgot to open well my document
that's all right all I need to do is
place my cursor inside the body field
here then I can click this Media Browser
button and you'll see I'm given an
option up here to upload a file so if I
click file upload I can select the file
from my computer and I can choose
whatever file it is I want
I can use selected and then from here I
can tell it to do whatever I need to do
in this case I can embed the file
alright and that's it that's how you
upload documents to your media library
