Files

The Files page is the central repository for all media and documents used on your church website. From here you can upload, browse, and manage every image, document, and media file your site needs.

Before You Begin

  • Complete the Initial Setup for your website
  • Optimize images before uploading for faster page load times
  • Prepare your files in common web formats (PNG, JPG, PDF, etc.)

Uploading Files​

  1. In B1 Admin, open the Jump menu (the search bar at the top-left), expand Website, and click Files.
  2. Click Upload Files at the top of the page, or Choose File in the Upload Files panel on the right, and pick a file from your computer.
  3. The file uploads as soon as you pick it and appears in the files table.

The Upload Files panel also shows how much storage you are using. 100 MB is provided free; once it is full, the upload buttons are hidden until you delete files or add space. To get more, link your own Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or S3 bucket under Settings, in the File Storage section. Files then go to your linked account, and the panel shows Stored in your linked account.

tip

For best results, optimize images before uploading. Smaller file sizes help your website load faster for visitors. Tools like TinyPNG or Squoosh can compress images without noticeable quality loss.

Browsing Files​

The files table lists every uploaded file with its Name and Size. Click a file's name to open it in a new tab. Give files clear, descriptive names before uploading so your team can find them quickly.

Using Files on Your Website​

  1. Find the file in the files table.
  2. Click Copy link to copy the file's URL (the button changes to Copied). You can paste this URL into image elements, download links, or anywhere else that accepts a file URL.
  3. Files you upload here are available for use across all your website pages and content blocks.
info

When building pages in Managing Pages, you can reference any file uploaded here by its URL. This keeps all your media organized in one central location.

Deleting Files​

  1. Find the file you want to remove in the files table.
  2. Click Delete next to it and confirm to permanently remove it from your library.
  3. Make sure the file is not currently being used on any page before deleting it, as this will break any links or images that reference it.
warning

Deleted files cannot be recovered. Double-check that a file is no longer in use on any page before removing it.
