What does the Media Library in Sitecore primarily manage?

The Media Library in Sitecore is primarily designed to manage site assets and files. This includes images, videos, documents, and other types of media that can be utilized throughout the Sitecore CMS for web content. The library provides a centralized repository where these media files can be organized, uploaded, and easily accessed by content authors and developers.

Assets stored in the Media Library are linked to items in your Sitecore content tree, making it convenient for users to pull images or other media into their content without needing to reference file paths or external storage solutions. This integration streamlines the process of content creation and ensures that media elements are readily available when building web pages or applications within Sitecore.

Options that refer to user credentials, analytics reporting, or content hierarchies pertain to entirely different functionalities within Sitecore. User credentials deal with permissions and access management, analytics reporting provides insights into content performance, and content hierarchies describe the structure of content items. All these aspects are important but do not relate to the specific purpose of the Media Library.
