Using the Media Library in Flipsnack

Manage and reuse images and videos across Design Studio

Table of contents

Overview

The Media Library is a centralized space in Design Studio where you manage images and videos. Upload a file once and reuse it across multiple pages and flipbooks.

From here, you can add new files, reuse existing ones, and quickly find what you need using search and filters.
