Upload Files

Upload Files

This example allows users to upload files and use them in the editor. The files are uploaded to /TMP/Files (opens in a new tab), and can be used for File, Image, Video, and Audio blocks.

Try it out: Click the "Add Image" button and see there's now an "Upload" tab in the toolbar!
