Overview

File Manager has three main folders:
- Images - default folder for Product, Category and Flyer images
- Documents - general folder for any other files
- Theme - folder for site files, including scripts, styles, fonts and images
File Manager is available anytime from your CMS navigation menu. It is also the window displayed when you add a file during a task , e.g., select an image for an article or a product.
