The slideshow remains the visual tutorial. These steps provide a complete text fallback.
Prerequisite: Sign in with an account that has access to the area shown in the tutorial.
- Open the media browser
Open the media browser from the CMS field that expects an image or document; this preserves the target context. - Set search and filters
Search by filename, title, or folder and narrow the results by media type when necessary. - Select a medium
Open the preview and check dimensions, file type, alternative text, permissions, and existing usage. - Apply the selection
Apply the selected asset. The calling form must now display its preview or media ID. - Edit the image if required
Edit title, description, alternative text, or crop only when the change is appropriate for every existing usage. - Verify the saved assignment
Save the calling CMS form and reload the target page. Verify presentation and alternative text in the front end.
Checkpoint: After the final step, reload the target page and confirm that the expected state remains active.
Common errors: If a control or record is missing, first check permissions, the active language, filters and whether the preceding step was saved.
