      Once created Media Items will appear within the WYSIWYG Editor, when you are managing your content, within the Media Dropdown in the tool bar.

      Media Dropdown Media Drop Down
      • It will place the item on the page in relation to where your cursor is
      • It will appear in text form - i.e. %%media-34%%
        (the number is unique to the media item created, so each one will have a different number)

      The Widget will be automatically inserted instead of the Media Item when you preview the page.
