The Drupal Media Library is a robust tool used to upload and organize documents, images, and audio and video links to embed on pages. Media is managed in a central searchable location making it easy to find and reuse content where appropriate.
There are two ways to upload content to the Media Library, via the Media tab, or as needed with the "Insert from Media Library" icon on the WYSIWYG editor toolbar.
Media Tab
The Media tab is found via Content > Media in edit mode. The Media tab is the easiest way to upload multiple media items to make them available for later use.
