You do not have to use it, but it can be convenient for files that don't necessarily have a home anywhere else. I personally use it for storing global images like site headers, logos etc. Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Iain MacLean	Wednesday 17 March 2004 6:58:35 pm Hi It's also a good place to store files that are re-used by authors who might not be on the same network, e.g. if they are in several different sites. A good example is graphics or stock photos of people or products you want to use in a number of items. Cheers Iain
