Managing Media
Overview
The media manage window allows you to add, remove, and modify the properties of media. Media is the main
content of the Art Museum website. It is the images, video, and audio clips that you are trying to display
and share. As there are many different file formats that media can come in, a general guide can be found in
Media Types.
