Best Practices

• Organization: Design your file organization before uploading files. Decide how many Media Galleries to use and the folder hierarchy within each Media Gallery. Design first, then build the Media Gallery applications you need and add folders as needed.
• Engagement: Enable and moderate comments for interaction and feedback.
• Maintenance: Update and review posts periodically to keep content relevant.
