The visual editor includes an Images and Media view for browsing, previewing, and managing your image and video assets.

To access the Images and Media view, select **Images and Media** from the sidebar navigation.

</Frame>

#### View modes

The Images and Media view offers two ways to browse your assets:

- **Tree view**: Browse assets organized by folder structure. This view is ideal for navigating large collections of media files.
- **Gallery view**: Browse assets as thumbnails grouped by folder. This view is ideal for quickly identifying specific images or videos.

Use the view toggle button in the toolbar to switch between tree and gallery views.

#### Preview assets

Select any image or video file to preview it in the right panel. The preview shows:

- Full-size image or video player
- File metadata including size and dimensions
- File path for easy reference

#### Configure assets

Right-click on any file or folder to access configuration options:

- **Copy path**: Copy the file path to your clipboard for use in your documentation
- **Configure**: Open the configuration panel to view detailed metadata including file name, path, size, type, and dimensions

The configuration panel also allows you to rename files and folders (coming soon) and delete assets (coming soon).

#### Search assets

Use the search bar to filter assets by name. The search works in both tree and gallery views, making it easy to find specific files in large media libraries.

### Create new pages

## Managing media assets

The visual editor includes an Images and Media view that helps you browse, preview, and manage your image and video assets. This feature makes it easier to:

- **Find assets quickly**: Search and browse your media files in tree or gallery view
- **Preview before using**: View full-size previews of images and videos
- **Copy file paths**: Easily copy file paths to reference in your documentation
- **View metadata**: Check file size, dimensions, and other properties

To access the Images and Media view, open the [visual editor](/editor) and select **Images and Media** from the sidebar navigation. See the [Visual editor](/editor#manage-images-and-media) documentation for detailed information on using this feature.
