In Telligent Evolution 5.6, the Insert Image dialog has added a Search field. You can use the field to search for uploaded matching files in your site's media galleries.

You can insert a media file into a blog or forum post using the text editor. Telligent Evolution allows you to insert a media file by uploading it from a local hard drive or a Web site folder, or by linking to a remote URL. The supported media file types are specified on the User Files page.
