Streamlined Media Management Meets a Fresh Look

August 13, 2026

One button for all your media

Previously, contributors had to navigate separate buttons for different media types. Now, everything lives behind one integrated button — images, video, audio, and embeds included.

  • Access all accepted media types from a single area
  • See file types, sizes, and sources before you upload
  • Reuse existing assets without re-uploading them

Media is now accessible from a centralized button

Why it matters

“A strong image is what keeps your readers engaged throughout your story.”

Here’s the case for prioritizing your inline media:

  1. Compelling media gives your story a chance to stand out in a crowded feed
  2. Sharp, well-chosen media signals credibility and professionalism
  3. The right media drives higher click-through and read rates

In short: inline media selection is a strategic decision, not a decorative afterthought — and it’s exactly why we’re rolling this update out network-wide.
