Adding & organizing media assets in your library

Updated yesterday

Each of your client calendars in HeyOrca will have its very own Media Library.

Your media library is where all your images, videos, and GIF that are uploaded to your calendar are stored! Additionally, you can upload media files directly into your client's library to store until you're ready to use them.

Media added to a post will automatically will be stored in your library along with your content as well.
