Document and file libraries
You display and manage all created libraries on Documents & Files page.
The Documents & Files page displays the number of documents or files in each library, the date of the last uploaded document or file, and where those documents and files are stored.
NOTE: The information you provide here is not public, it is for your reference only.
In Storage provider dropdown box, select where to store the documents and files. The list that appears contains all available storage providers. For more information, see Storage providers for libraries.
In the document and file library, you can upload any file format. The following file formats have dedicated icons that are automatically displayed in the backend and on the frontend together with each file:
.ace, .css, .mobi, .sfb, .fb2, .epub, .iba, .book, .wmv, .mov, .mpeg, .mpg, .avi, .mp4, .ogg, .wma, .wav, .mp3, .ppsx, .pps, .pptx, .rar, .csv, .jpeg, .xlsx, .docx, .html, .ppt, .png, .gif, .jpg, .zip, .xls, .txt, .rtf, .doc, .pdf

You can change the method by which items are uploaded into libraries. Sitefinity CMS supports HTML5 and Silverlight upload. For more information, see Libraries upload mode.
NOTE: If you are changing the URL of the library, Sitefinity CMS changes the URLs of the items one by one. In case of external storage, changing the library URL may cause data transfer from one storage to another. In case of failure, some of the items might keep their previous URLs and some of the items will have the updated URLs. You can try to resume to get the rest of the items relocated.
Once created, a library can be moved together with all of its content to another library, by changing its parent library.
To do this, perform the following:
NOTE: In case of failure before the operation is completed, some of the library items may remain in the target storage, while the rest will stay in the source storage. You can try to resume the operation.
IMPORTANT: During the process of moving to another storage, you are not able to edit or delete the library items.
For more information, see Storage providers for libraries.
To delete a library, perform one of the following:
A dialog box appears where you must confirm the deletion.
