Best Practices & Considerations

• Organize Files: If you have many files, consider creating sub-folders within the file manager to keep your assets organized and easy to find.
• Descriptive File Names: Use clear and descriptive file names (e.g., company-logo-header.png instead of image1.png) to simplify identification and referencing.
• Optimize Image Sizes: Before uploading, optimize large images for web use. Smaller file sizes will improve page load times for both admin and user interfaces.
• Backup Critical Assets: While OPSCOM manages these files, consider maintaining local backups of critical branding assets (logos, banners) as a samplebest ofpractice.
• Path Accuracy: When linking images to pages, ensure the URL beingpath usedis inexactly acorrect, typicalincluding pagecapitalization, header.
