## Overview

Open Media by clicking **Media** in the Hub sidebar.

## Grid View

All assets are displayed as thumbnails in a responsive grid. Each tile shows:

- A preview thumbnail
- The file type indicator
- A print file icon in the top-right corner (if a print version has been attached)

Click any asset to open its **Image Detail view**.

## Opening a Specific Asset by URL

Any asset can be linked to directly using its post ID. The Image Detail modal opens immediately for that asset — useful for sharing links to specific files with colleagues.

## Multi-Select in the Image Chooser

When the Media Library is opened from within an article or ACF field (image chooser mode), multiple images can be selected simultaneously. Button labels make the action clear:

- **Insert** / **Select** — for a single item
- **Insert Selected** — for multiple items
