One of them is keeping an eye on uploaded files on your store. As your site increases in site and age, more files are likely to be added to store. This can make it harder for you to find specific files that you might want to edit, delete, replace or use again.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some ways that you can search for the right file on your Shopify store. This article details the best way that you can use your Shopify basic plan program to search for files on the server.<\/p>\n<p>There are also apps, like Any Asset, that can help you manage your site\u2019s files.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaways\"><div class=\"takeaways-title h2\">Key Takeaways<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">1<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Access the \u2018Files\u2019 section in Shopify\u2019s \u2018Settings\u2019 to start your file search.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">2<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Use specific keywords or file extensions in the search bar for accurate results.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">3<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Save your search for quick future access with the \u2018Save This Search\u2019 feature.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"row1\">Step 1 - Login<\/h2>\n<p>First thing you need to do is to log in\u00a0to your Shopify store.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row2\">Step 2 - Files<\/h2>\n<p>Now you need to head to the \u2018Files\u2019 section of your Shopify management. This can be found within the \u2018Settings\u2019 area of your Shopify backend on the left-hand menu. The files option is not particularly hard to find and can be accessed very quickly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row3\">Step 3 - Enter Information<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve entered the \u2018Files Page\u2019 you need to find the search bar. Do not mistake the search bar with the blue one. Once you\u2019ve found the bar, you can enter the information, like the keyword or file name, for the file that you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>You can also search for the file with the file extension like .doc, .pdf, .jpg. If there are files that match the search criteria that you enter into your search, they will display. These results will be shown in alphanumeric order. This makes it easier for you to search the results to find the exact file that you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row4\">Step 4 - Save (Optional)<\/h2>\n<p>If this is a search that you might want to come back to at a later date, you can save the search. To do this, click on the \u2018Save This Search\u2019 button. This is next to the search bar that you used earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to the management of your store, you might find some areas harder than others.
