Q: |
I uploaded all my files, but I can't not find them. | |

Make sure the ‘Position’ is correct, click the down list arrow, files uploaded for this position should be there. Select each file at a time to assign a name or select all files at once. After giving the file a name, click update and the file will be added to ‘My Media Library’. File names can be arbitrarily assigned or the uploaded name can be used. | |
