Upload and manage images
Files is where the images and video used across your Space live. Product imagery from Shopify comes in with your catalogue; this is for everything else — campaign photography, logos, video, anything you add yourself. Media you bring in from Instagram or Google Drive lands here too, in the folder you choose when you transform it.
Upload a file
Section titled “Upload a file”Open Files and upload. You can organise into folders, which is worth doing before you have hundreds of them rather than after.
Use a file in a Block
Section titled “Use a file in a Block”Add an image or video block to a cube and pick the file. Nothing appears on your storefront until that block is on a Version and published.
Changing an image that is already in use
Section titled “Changing an image that is already in use”So changing an image that is already live means:
-
Upload the new file.
-
Find every block using the old one.
-
Update each of them to point at the new file.
-
Publish those blocks.
On one cube that is a minute’s work. Across fifty, it is an afternoon.
Decide before it spreads
Section titled “Decide before it spreads”Two habits save that afternoon:
- Get the file right before it is widely used. Quality is much cheaper to fix at upload time. Which part of the image shows is set on each block, with Crop image on image blocks and main feed items.
- For anything appearing in many places, use a shared block rather than the same image added separately to each cube. Then there is one thing to change instead of fifty.
