This explains how filenames work in the app — how they're used, and how to rename them.

Add a new file

The original filename is used when a file is uploaded directly to the Mediabank or a channel tree in the CMS. You can check it in File Details in the Mediabank.

Rename a file

Across all channels — via the description field in the Mediabank:

1. Go to Mediabank.
2. Select the file (click the top-right circle of the thumbnail).
3. In File Details, type the new name in Description.
4. Click Save.

Result: in the CMS the new name is used when adding the file to a content box (and updates automatically if already added). In the app and share window, the new name shows. When downloaded via Webapp or share, the original filename is used.

Only in one content box or presentation:

1. Open the content box containing the file.
2. Select the file (top-right circle).
3. In the right panel under Properties, enter the new name in Name.
4. Click Save.

Replace a file

If a file is replaced in the Mediabank via Change File: if not yet used in any channel, the new filename is used when added; if already used in a content box, the previous filename is kept there (no auto-overwrite) — rename it manually as above.

Search

• CMS: always search using the original filename.
• Webapp: click the magnifying-glass icon, then type a filename; for renamed files, type the new name.
