added to your community's media gallery.
Before you begin
To open a community's media gallery, from the community's

About this task
The
Media Gallery page displays thumbnails
of all the multimedia content in your community's media gallery.
You can see who uploaded each file and when the file was last updated,
as well as if the file has been locked. You can also see how many
people have downloaded or commented on a file, and preview photos
or videos using the gallery previewer.
Procedure
Choose from the following options when viewing media
gallery content:
- Use the Sort by options to sort
content by date or by most commented.
- Use the Display options to display
the multimedia content in gallery format or list format.
Tip: Choose list format if you want to see how many times a
file has been downloaded or find out how many people like a file.
More sorting options are also available from the list view. For example,
you can sort by popularity and most liked as well as by date and most
commented.
- Use the Show options to filter the
display to show photos only, videos only, or photos and videos together.
Note: Community owners can configure the Media Gallery widget
to display content of one type only, videos or photos. In this case,
the option to filter the media gallery content by file type is not
available.
- Click a thumbnail to open the file in the previewer. From the previewer, you can:
- Use the arrows on either side of the dialog to view the rest of
the thumbnails in the current view. You can also use the arrow keys.
- Click Go to summary under an image to access
more advanced options for working with the file.
- If you are viewing a video file, click the Play arrow
to play the video.
- If the like icon
displays a number next to it, you can
click it to see a list of the people who have liked the file.
- Click a file name to view detailed information about the
file and access more advanced options for working with it. For more
