WordPress Media Library
What is the WordPress Media Library?
The media library, located within the WordPress dashboard, is the central location for uploading and managing all media types into your WordPress installation. From the media library you can add, delete, and modify images, documents, and other types of media files.
While accessing the media library directly will allow you to add and manage all media files, you can also add media directly from the add / edit screen for a post or page.
