The Media Library
Every project has a Media Library where images are staged before they publish. Upload media, set alt text and captions, choose a context, and review staged and published assets.
Every project has a Media Library — the place where your image assets live in Acrosite before they publish. You upload images here, give them alt text and captions, and review what is staged versus what is already published to your site. This page tours the Media Library.
Who this is for
Editors and Authors who manage a project's images.
Open the Media Library
Open your project and go to Media (also reachable as the Media card on the Content Structure page). The page summarises how many assets are staged, how many media contexts exist, and that published website media loads on demand.
Upload media
The Upload Media panel adds a new image:
- Choose an image file with Choose Image. Acrosite stages the file without publishing it.
- Pick a Media Context — for example General Project Media, or a specific content type — which helps Acrosite choose the future repository path.
- Optionally add Alt Text, a Title, and a Caption.
- Confirm with Upload Media.
Supported formats and the size limit are covered in Image formats and limits.
Staged and published media
The library has two views:
- Staged Media — assets staged in Acrosite, ready to be committed to your repository when content that uses them publishes. Each shows whether it is linked to active content or is currently unused (orphaned).
- Published Website Media — assets already published to your connected site. This view loads on demand when you open it.
