Import Media from Storage into Course Lessons

Reusing previously uploaded media files can significantly speed up the process of building course lessons. The Import from Media Storage feature allows you to add existing audio and video files directly to your lessons without uploading duplicates or managing multiple copies. This guide explains how to use this feature effectively.

What Is Import from Media Storage?

Import from Media Storage enables you to attach audio or video files that are already stored in your CRM's media library to any course lesson. Instead of uploading the same file repeatedly, you can select it from your stored media and import it directly. This helps maintain an organized content library and reduces redundant work, especially when using the same media across various lessons or courses.

• Speeds up course creation: Add media to lessons quickly with just a few clicks.
