Images and attachments
Introduction
The Images and Attachments feature provides an overview of attachments and images saved in the Optimizely Campaign content database, and also lets you edit those files.

The name you apply to the file should match the original file, so as not to confuse the mailing recipient.

- Location. Indicates whether the image is stored on Optimizely Campaign (server) or located externally.
- Dimensions. The image's dimensions in pixels.

Attachments
The Attachments overview displays the following information:

- Location. Indicates if the file is stored on the Optimizely Campaign (server) or located externally.
- Type. The file format (PDF, DOC and so on). This is the original file format as recognized by Optimizely Campaign when the file was added, not the format you applied while naming it.
Tip
The type you apply to the file should match the original file, so as not to confuse the mailing recipient.
- Size. The file size in bytes. Use discretion with the file size, so recipients are not annoyed by large attachments.
