## Steps

1. Open **Library** in the sidebar. It holds every file this brand has, including the ones added from the composer.

   ![Step 1: Library holds the brand's photos, videos and documents.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/vy53y317/production/88d8a5caa525ea547d7dfb9e86edfc332acfcb01-2880x1800.png?w=1600&sharp=25&q=90&auto=format)

2. Click **New folder**, name it and click **Create**, then open it.

   ![Step 2: Make a folder with New folder.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/vy53y317/production/b62a0b582b8609dc7ee04445c6617e733183797e-2880x1800.png?w=1600&sharp=25&q=90&auto=format)

3. Click **Upload** and choose one or more files, or drag them onto the page. **Upload folder** keeps the folders of a folder from your computer.

   ![Step 3: Click Upload and choose your files.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/vy53y317/production/9a310d4bc3b41bbb38255917563901b3d7595fd2-2880x1800.png?w=1600&sharp=25&q=90&auto=format)

4. Use **Images**, **Video** and **Documents** to narrow the list. The search box looks through every folder, not just the one you're in.

   ![Step 4: Filter by type, or search every folder at once.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/vy53y317/production/f704ca10b0f1be4d4478c1eb625d3db46a2673a5-2880x1800.png?w=1600&sharp=25&q=90&auto=format)

5. Click a file's **Details** button to see its size and where it's used, change its name or alt text, download it or delete it. Alt text you save here comes with the file into every post.

   ![Step 5: Open a file's details to rename it or add alt text.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/vy53y317/production/590374622cf4f363dfe055bc622e7078af9ad1f6-2880x1800.png?w=1600&sharp=25&q=90&auto=format)

### Using a file in a post

On the composer's **Media** step, **From Library** adds files from here, alt text included. Files you upload in the composer land in the Library too.

### Sizes

There is no storage limit. A photo can be up to 10 MB and a PDF up to 50 MB. Videos can be up to 2 GB.

### Moving and deleting

Tick files, then **Move to folder**. Deleting a folder asks whether to keep its files or delete them too.

A file used by a draft, a scheduled post, a task or a feed plan can't be deleted until you take it out of them. Deleting a file that only published posts use doesn't change those posts.
