Wix Media: Organizing the Files in Your Media Manager

Organizing your files helps you save time and stay efficient when looking for specific media. Keep your files in your Media Manager organized by sorting them into different folders and sub-folders, so you can avoid sifting through irrelevant files.

Make finding your files easier by narrowing your file search through filters, reordering your files, and adjusting the layout of your Media Manager. Use Boards to create account-level folders to easily access your media files across all your sites.
