About the Resource Library

C4 Modules > C4 Resource Library
What it does:
The resource library is an internal file system that stores all of your files used in your website, things like image files (.jpg, .png, .gif, etc.) and document files (.docx, .xlsx, .pdf, etc.). All files used in your sites are located here. Files uploaded in other modules will automatically be found here. They can then be used anywhere in your site, using the file's path /_upload/... 

Some files are named specifically, and if the image needs to be changed/updated, you will have to upload the same size with the same file name.

Some images must be a certain size. Some shifting of content, or skewed imaging will result if the ratio or size is incorrect. Click here to find the size of your image, and how to resize your images. 

Here are some quick tutorials to get you working through your Resource Library:
