If you want to use images in your site or share PDF or other documents types,
you first need to upload them to the Media Library.
6.1 Introducing the Media Library
The Media Library is where media files are stored in Site Manager. Media files
include images, PDF files, Microsoft Office files, style sheets and scripts, but not
videos. Once in the Media Library files are easy to access from within Site
Manager’s visual
content editor, for example to create a link to a PDF file or
insert an image in a web page.
