Files management allows you to bulk upload files to the media gallery, as well as edit, delete, unpublish and publish existing files.
To manage a media gallery:
-
Navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > My Media Galleries > [gallery name] > Manage > Files.
If you have a large number of files, you can use the filters to find the file you are looking for. Filtering options allow you to display by tags and the file status (published or unpublished).
-
If a file has not been published or requires moderation, select the file check box and click Publish Selected. Likewise, to unpublish files, select the file check box and click Unpublish Selected. When you unpublish a file, it is not removed from the database. It is accessible by admins, but is no longer accessible to users.
-
Click Edit to access a file's modifiable attributes, including title, description and tags.
-
The Quick Upload functionality allows you to upload multiple files to the media gallery.
-
The numbers in the Downloads and Comments columns are active links. When you click on the number in the Downloads column, you can generate an Excel download details report for each file, including:
- Name of the user who downloaded the file and the user email address
- Total number of downloads by each user
- Most recent download date
When you click on the number in the Comments column, the Comments management page opens.
