Importing a full media zip file

If you are importing a full media archive (.zip) – created by a Silva full media export – the system will recognize it and handle it properly. The folder structure of the previously exported content will be recreated, and the names for the assets will be the same as they were before the export. Chief Editors and above can export full media archives.
