Uploading and managing files (images, videos, and PDFs)

Upload images, videos, and PDFs to use in your web page designs and layouts. Files are uploaded to the Assets panel, where you can manage them. Here's how to upload, organize, and delete your files.

About file uploads

Uploading files

Uploaded files are stored in the Assets panel, which is shared between the Editor and the CMS dashboard. You can upload files to the Assets panel in either of the following ways.

Ways to upload files

  • Drag and drop files directly onto the Editor screen or the CMS editing screen

  • Add them from the upload panel in the Editor or CMS

Note: You can't upload video files through Figma to Studio.

Adding files by drag and drop

  1. Open the Design Editor and go to any page.

  2. Drag and drop the file onto the screen.

Adding files from the upload panel

  1. In the left-hand navigation, click the [Uploads] icon to open the upload panel.

  2. Click [＋] at the top of the panel, select [Upload file], and choose the file you want to add.

Renaming a file

  2. Double-click the file name to edit it.

Deleting files

How file deletion works

  • When you delete a file, it's moved to the Trash first.

  • To remove it from the project completely, delete it from the Trash as well.

  • Files deleted from the Trash can't be restored, even with Version History.

Deleting a single file

  1. In the left-hand navigation, click the [Uploads] icon to open the upload panel.

  2. Hover over the thumbnail of the file you want to delete.

  3. Click the trash icon that appears to delete it.

Tip: The delete button doesn't appear in the panel that opens when you double-click a box already placed on a page.

Deleting multiple files at once

  1. In the left-hand navigation, click the [Uploads] icon to open the upload panel.

  2. Select the files you want to delete.

  3. In the blue bar that appears at the bottom of the panel, click the trash icon to delete them all at once.

Deleting files from the Trash

  1. In the left-hand navigation, click the [Uploads] icon to open the upload panel.

  2. In the folder menu at the top left of the panel, select [Trash].

  3. Select the file (or folder) you want to delete.

  4. Click the blue bar at the bottom of the panel.

  5. Click [Delete permanently] to remove the file from the Trash.

If you can't rename or delete a file

If you can't rename or delete an image or file, the panel you're working in may be the reason. Studio.Design has two types of panels for handling images and videos.
