Using the Files & Images Manager

Details

As with all other similar platforms and website builders, items stored in the Files & Images manager are publicly accessible. This is required so that images load & files work for the contacts you send to.

The Files & Images manager (or Files & Images library) is where all of your images and documents are stored. You can upload these files into the manager, then insert them into an email design (in the case of images), or linked to them for download by the recipient (in the case of documents).

Supported file types

You can also use the manager to sort and organise your files through the use of folders, you can move and delete files, upload new ones as well as make edits to images - all within the same interface.
