Uploads

The manage uploads admin page is used to perform basic operations on files that have already been uploaded to the blog. Files can only be uploaded through the File uploads box under Write>>Write Post or Write>>Write Page. Files cannot be uploaded through this interface, although that functionality can probably be enabled through use of a plugin. The manage uploads interface will allow files titles and file descriptions to be altered, links to be copied and files to be erased.

Click Manage>>Uploads to get to the uploads admin page.
