Summary

Strapi has introduced a new Media Library feature in its latest beta release, allowing content editors to manage and organize various media assets such as images, videos, audio files, PDFs, and GIFs with ease. This highly requested feature replaces the previous Files Upload system and offers functionalities like uploading, editing, deleting, and inserting media directly into content types. Users can sort and filter assets by date, type, or size, and utilize an embedded video player for seamless video integration. The Media Library also supports on-the-fly editing, including file renaming, alternative text addition, and cropping options, while ensuring size optimization and responsive formats without quality loss. Strapi continues to evolve with community contributions, and the team has organized an Online Meetup to discuss new features, best practices, and future developments.
