Our CMS contains thousands of image files, so it's important to name your file well so that you and your colleagues can find and reuse them.

There are 2 different naming conventions to keep in mind:

  • The filename of the image (what it is saved as on your computer, e.g. very-important-image.jpg).

  • The media item name you give the image when you upload it to the CMS media library (e.g. Shrine profiles John Lui).

Tips & tricks

If you're uploading several images that belong together, such as members of a council or honour roll inductees, it's a good idea to put this consistently in the image names, for easier searching. For example: "Stella Young – 2017 Women's Honour Roll".
