Using the Media Library to reuse images and videos

Manage uploaded files across every flipbook in Design Studio without duplicates

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.

💡 Benefits of using the Media Library
  • Upload once: Reuse the same file in multiple projects.
  • Stay organized: Keep images and videos in one place.
  • Work faster: Avoid uploading the same asset repeatedly.
  • Quick search: Find files by name or type.
  • Multi-select: Add multiple images to slideshows and shopping elements at once.

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