> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

> Support for media libraries ended on 24 July, 2026. The feature and its associated APIs will be removed in two steps:
>
> - **August 2026** Refresh – the feature was hidden in the admin UI for projects that have no media libraries.
> - **September 2026** Refresh – the feature and all associated APIs will be fully removed.

2. Select **New media library**.
3. Enter the following details:
   - **Media library name** – the name of the media library displayed in the administration and on the live site.
   - _(Optional)_ **Identifiers** – specify the code name if you wish to use a code name different than the pre-filled value.
   - **Description** – text describing the media library.
   - **Folder name** – the name of the folder where files will be stored in the file system.
4. **Save** the created media library.

The system creates the media library and the associated folder on the file system. An editing interface for the media library appears.

On the **General** tab, you can edit the properties that you entered when creating the media library:
