The Media App allows you to browse, sort media, upload new media and delete media.
You can browse and sort media using the filters located at the top of the Media App. You can sort by the following:
- Type - Filter by All, Photo, Document, Video and Audio
- Display As - Arrange media items in a List or Grid (Default) layout
- Label - Filter media items by label
- Sort By - Sort media items by ID, Date Uploaded (Default) or Last Modified
- Order - Sort by Ascending or Descending (Default)
You can restore the filters to default using the Reset Filters button.
The Media App allows you to add graphics in common web formats to Assistant. The WordPress media library doesn’t support .svg graphics by default, but the Assistant Plugin adds .svg graphics without the need for a third-party plugin or custom code.
