# Media Gallery

To access the Media Gallery, click "New" from the menu in the upper-right, and then click "Media Gallery".

From here, you'll fill out the necessary/required fields: **Name** and **Primary Site & Section.**  Full instructions on shared content fields can be found here:

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MK0O5KTCxr1dOJpqcyX" %}
[Adding and Editing Content](/base-cms/content-management/adding-and-editing-content.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Unique to Media Gallery Content

Media Galleries will display an array of uploaded images in a slideshow format like so:

{% file src="/files/-MK0\_C--ST1L8BOlDfRj" %}
Slideshow in action
{% endfile %}

## **Upload Images**

On the left-hand side of the page, scroll down until you see the **Media** option, then click **Upload:**

{% hint style="info" %}
When you select "Upload", a window overlay will pop up that allows you to choose a file to upload from your computer.

## Primary Image 

When an image is set a "Primary", it will be the primary image that's displayed across the site, meaning it will be the image that displays at the top of it's content page, and as thumbnails on associated pages like so:

![](/files/-MK0_lz_HqjNB5oCA93u)

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the first image you upload will be set as **"Primary"**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
In the case of Media Galleries, the **Primary Image** will not display as the first slide of the slideshow, only on the content landing page like so:
{% endhint %}

## Reordering Slides

Let's say you changed your mind on the order of slides that you uploaded and you wish to rearrange them.  By **clicking and dragging the arrows** on the right, you're able to automatically reorder them in a matter of seconds:
