How to Use the Media Archive

The Media Archive keeps your practice's images and files in one place. Clinical photos live on one tab and marketing files on another. This article covers how to find, add, update, and delete media on each tab.

Open the Media Archive

  1. Select Media Archive from the left navigation.

  2. Choose a tab:

    • Clinical Photos: patient-related images

    • Marketing Media: images and PDFs you use in marketing campaigns and conversations

Clinical Photos

Find and filter photos

The filters across the top of the page narrow down which photos you see:

  • Search by patient: shows photos that belong to a selected patient

  • Search by tag: finds photos with the media tags you select

  • Date range: shows photos captured or uploaded during a selected period

  • Search by type: filters by the type assigned to the photo

  • Search by consent: filters for Full Media Consent or Clinical Consent

Change the view

The view buttons next to the filters switch between two layouts:

  • View by photo: shows each photo on its own

  • View by patient: groups photos under each patient

Add clinical media

  1. Select the circle with the plus sign in the upper-right corner.

  2. Choose one:

    • Upload Media to add an image you already have

    • Take Photo to take a new photo with your device's camera

    • Create Before & After to start a comparison image

  3. Follow the prompts to link the media to the right patient and enter its details.

  4. Save when you're done.

Open and update a photo

  1. Select a photo in the archive.

  2. Review or update its details.

  3. Close the window when you're done. The archive refreshes and shows your saved changes.

Work with multiple photos

  1. Select the checkbox on each photo you want to use.

  2. Open the selected-photo menu.

  3. Choose an action:

    • Print selected media

    • Create before & after image

    • Edit Side by Side

    • Take After Photo

    • Delete

  4. Select Done to leave selection mode.

Note: Before-and-after and side-by-side actions need exactly two selected photos. Take After Photo needs one selected before photo.

Delete clinical photos

  1. Select one or more photos.

  2. Open the selected-photo menu.

  3. Select Delete.

Deleting a clinical photo archives it. The photo isn't permanently erased.

Marketing Media

The Marketing Media tab holds reusable images and PDFs for your campaigns and conversations.

Find marketing files

The controls at the top of the tab let you:

  • Search by title or description

  • Filter by tags

  • Show all file types, images only, or PDFs only

Upload marketing media

  1. Open the Marketing Media tab.

  2. Select Upload.

  3. Choose the image or PDF you want to add.

  4. Enter the file details and upload it.

View or edit a file

  1. Select a file's card.

  2. Review or edit its details.

  3. Save your changes.

Delete marketing files

  • To remove one file, use that file's delete action.

  • To remove several at once, select them and choose Delete.

  • Confirm the deletion when prompted.

Important: Deleted clinical photos are archived, but deleted marketing files can't be restored from this screen. Double-check before you confirm.

Tips:

  • Use the same tags consistently so media is easier to find later.

  • Before you upload clinical media, make sure you've selected the right patient.

  • Before you use a clinical photo outside your practice, check its consent with the consent filter.

  • Your role and permissions may control whether you can delete media.
