Exploring the Media Manager
The Media Manager is one of the features rebuilt for Joomla 4 and includes many functionalities to load multimedia files and edit them directly online. This has simplified the publishing workflow for website administrators and editors.
The Media Manager is accessible from the Media button on Home Dashboard or from the Media menu item under the Content menu in the sidebar.
By default, the component shows a preview of images loaded in the main images folder (generally it’s the folder named images placed under public_html), as shown in Figure 2.12.

From this page, you can also navigate through the subfolders holding media files (images, videos, and animations), create new subfolders, and upload media files.
The Media Manager also allows you to perform several operations on the uploaded files. When you select media, you can see the available commands.
