The Media Manager is the central library where all assets are stored and categorized by folder. Assets can be image, video, audio, and document files. When assets aren’t directly uploaded using the Media Manager, they’re automatically stored in the Root folder within the Media Manager. For more information about the specifications for each asset, see Supported Media Specifications.

The Media Manager also supports Pixabay so that users creating posts can have access to royalty, free, and high quality imagery.
