After the media file has been added to the Media Gallery, it can be linked to equipment items.
Adding Media to Equipment Items
You can add media that is not currently in the Media Gallery directly from equipment items. This is different from linking media, which refers to creating links to media that is already in the gallery.

- Click Collected Data in the upper right to display the Media Gallery if it is not in view.
- Click Add.
- Browse to the location on your computer where the media is located, and select it. To select multiple media items, press CTRL while clicking the items.
- Click Open.
