Whenever you use a new file, e.g. an image, on your ChurchTools Website, it is automatically saved in the files of your website. In the admin area of your website you will find the files (Dateien) under the item of the same name in the menu.

You can easily find a specific file via the search field.

If, for example, you want to use an image in several places on the website, you only have to upload it once. This saves storage space!

To make this work as effectively as possible, it can help to organise the files on your website in folders, just like on your hard drive.

(6) File menu #
