How to upload a media file to your assets library?

Select Galleries in the upper left hand corner of your screen

Find the gallery that you want to add files to and select the File Folder icon and then click on the Add Files button.

In this example, we will create a new gallery from scratch and then upload an image file directly to that gallery.

Once you access your Cincopa account click on ‘+ New Gallery’ option in the upper right hand side of your screen.

Now choose a template for the new gallery and select USE THIS TEMPLATE option that appears when hovering over a template.

You will then be redirected to the Gallery settings page where you will have many customization options for your gallery. It will show a default image list as we have not yet uploaded any images.
