Add media to the media catalog

This application offers a default media catalog which contains the most used media types. You

can assign the media to selected pages.

Click on a column header to sort the media catalog. You can sort ascending and descending. Drag

the separators to change the width of the columns.

1. Click [Tools] - [Media] - [Media catalog].

2. Click [New].

The [New media] dialog will appear.

3. Configure the media settings.

It is not mandatory to specify the name, weight, type, and color.

If the specified media already exists in the [Media Catalog] you will not be able to add it

again.
