Asset Manager: Uploading Files/Images

All of your images and documents you want to include in your website are stored inside of your File/Asset manager (please note i will often referred to this as simply the asset manager). Here you can upload images, documents to download, media etc. to make accessible for your site. There are a few ways to access the asset manager:

1. In the Configuration page, under Website -> Configuration, you will see a direct link to the File Manager - click on the Open File Manager button to open up your file/asset manager. 


2. Another way to access the asset manager is within your pages and using the HTML Editor. Many of the tools in this toolbar will allow you to navigate to your asset manager. Here are the different tools:

The window will appear different depending on which item you clicked on, however all of them will have a folder button in the right corner. Once you click on this folder you are taken into your Asset Manager.


The asset manager will look like this: [NOTE: notice the drop menu on the top right is labeled Images. This is because i used the images icon to navigate to it - so it assumes I am looking for an image. You can change this drop menu to show All Items if you want].
