Edit media in the widget editor
Updated last week
You can edit a video or image's details without leaving the widget editor. Hover over the media item in the preview and click Edit to open it.
Open the editor
Open your widget in the widget editor.
Hover over a video or image in the preview and click Edit. The Edit media window opens with that item's details.
What you can change
The window shows the same details as the media's page in your library:
Products and links
Labels
Name
Social handle, the Instagram or TikTok account credited for the media
Status (Active or Hidden) and expiry date
Caption
Preview image, for videos
Shop app publishing, for videos
AI description, transcription, and alt text
Changing the social handle links only that media item to a different account. Media imported from the same account keeps its own handle.
Some options depend on your plan. For example, if custom thumbnails are not available on your plan, the window shows an upgrade option instead of the thumbnail controls.
Save your changes
Click Save in the window. When the save works, the window closes and the preview updates with your changes.
If the media fails to load, the window shows "Couldn't load this media. Please try again." Close the window and click Edit again.
