Summary

Every image, document, video and audio file that is uploaded onto your Intranet is stored in the file library. Your role and permissions will determine how many of those files you can view and access.

For the majority of users with publishing powers, you can only view the files you have uploaded and the files uploaded to the sections you’re in.

For webmasters as well as global publishers and section managers, you can view and manage every file ever uploaded.

3. Select ‘UPLOAD FILE ’ and choose the file or media from your local drive

4. Or drag and drop your file, which must be less than 40 MB as instructed

2. In describe your image, write for users of assistive technology to improve their experience of your content

3. Add title text if you want a label to appear when a user hovers over your image
