Media Edit

You can edit the specific attributes of a media item by selecting the media's thumbnail from the Manage Media Item screen or from viewing the media item in Media Gallery.

Media Edit Screen

This screen allows you to modify the general attributes of the item, such as orientation, title, description, etc. You can also attach a thumbnail to the media item. If a thumbnail is attached, that thumbnail image will be displayed when viewing the album thumbnails.

Reset Views

You can replace an existing attached thumbnail by selecting the browse button and choosing a new image to upload.

Replace File
