The Media Library in Plek provides a central collection of images. This ensures that users can easily use professional, consistent, and approved images when creating posts.

What is the Media Library?

The Media Library is a shared collection of images available to all users in your Plek environment. Examples include:

• Photos of locations
• Team photos
• Campaign images
• Standard header images

Users can use these images in:

• Header images when creating a post
• Attachments to posts (for example, in a photo gallery)

Note: Only admins can manage the Media Library. Users can use images but cannot add or delete them.

Managing the Media Library (for admins)

As an admin, you can access the Media Library via the Admin Panel. Here you can:

• Upload new images
• Delete existing images
• Download images (for reuse or verification)

Steps:

1. Go to the Admin Panel
2. Navigate to Configuration > Media Library
3. Click Choose Files to upload images
   • Note: file names cannot be changed in Plek. Make sure files have a clear name before uploading.
4. Use the buttons to:
   • Add images (1)
   • Preview images (2)
   • Re-download images (3)
   • Delete images (4)

Tip: Use clear file names and high-quality landscape images (e.g., 1200x600px) for the best header results.
