# Add media

In order to add a new image, just click the add button on top of the media list (). Afterwards, you have to select an image file from your computer and set a title. More information about specific requirements, e.g. regarding file type or file size can be displayed by hovering on the info icon () next to the input fields (see image below). It is important to choose a meaningful title, as this will later be the only attribute for identifying the image in the widget editor. After having uploaded the image, it is available in the image lists of the widget editor, e.g. when editing an image widget.

# Delete media

An image can be deleted by first selecting it from the list in the media manager and then clicking the Delete button (). Keep in mind that the image will also be deleted from the app model.
