VMHub

Media

The library of images, files and videos

Images, documents, videos and icons all live in one media library. Upload a media item once and use it on as many pages as you like; the caption and alt text belong to the media item, not to each use.

The screens in this chapter come from the VMHub demo, where you can look around yourself.

The library

Media in the left panel opens the library as a grid, rows or a table. Filter by folder, tag and gallery on the left, by type and by searching the name at the top. Media in the global library are available to every site.

Uploading

Add new media through Create → Media or the Add media button: pick the type — an image, file, icon, video or social post — and the file. YouTube or Vimeo videos and social posts are added by their link.

Fill in an image's alt text: screen readers and search engines both read it.

Folders, tags and galleries

Folders sort the library for the editors, tags are shared with content and galleries are named sets of images you put on a page with the Gallery component. Folders, tags and galleries are managed as described in Categories and tags.
