Best practices for organizing your Media Library
How you organize the media assets in your Media Library is down to you. We recommend, however, that you organize them in a way that makes sense to you, allowing you to easily find files when required.
Organize by file type 📂
If you only have one, or a handful of Flipbooks, you might want to organize by file type, meaning s separate folder for your images, one for videos, etc.
Organize by Flipbook 📚
If you have multiple Flipbooks, the number of files in your Media Library can quickly get very large. Consider organizing your Media Library by Flipbook. This means that you have a specific folder for each of your Flipbooks, with relevant media assets housed within subfolders within.
