where are images stored in SharePoint Online
Hi,
I was wondering how do I determine where an image is stored in SharePoint online? I would go to a given page and then click Edit. I click on an image I want the location of and to the left of it is a pencil icon (edit web part). But this only gives me the "Change" button for changing them image. But I want to know where the old one is located.
Some links mention I could find them in the Site Assets folder, but the images were not in that folder when I checked.
Sincerely,
Jason
I'm sorry but i see no limitations which could prevent to use nested IF. The only point it is a bit less flexible compare to nested If equivalents.
But what to use depends on goals, in some cases quick hardcording works quite fine.
If use formatting nested if becomes much more clear and editable. Like this
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Sales", B3,1)),"Sales",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Arch", B3,1)),"Architecture",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Land", B3,1)),"Land",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("All", B3,1)),"All",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Contracts", B3,1)),"Contracts",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Construction", B3,1)),"Construction",
"No Match"
))))))
If instead of hardcoded strings use references nested IF becomes more flexible. And if add some extra references (nested if) for future strings to find it becomes even more flexible.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$1,B3,1)),$G$1, IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$2,B3,1)),$G$2, IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$3,B3,1)),$G$3, IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$4,B3,1)),$G$4, IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$5,B3,1)),$G$5, IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$6,B3,1)),$G$6, IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$7,B3,1)),$G$7, IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$8,B3,1)),$G$8, IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$9,B3,1)),$G$9, "No Match" )))))))))I don't vote for nested IF, i would like to say where is no limitations here. What to use that's concrete person choice.

1. Images added on SharePoint pages will be stored in Site Assets >> Site Pages (folder) >> Page Name (folder) --> Images will be stored in this subfolder
2. Images added on SharePoint list columns will be stored in Site Assets >> Lists (folder) >> GUID of List (folder) --> Images will be stored in this subfolder

- Hi @ganeshanap.
There used to be an option to add a Picture Libary, i don't seem to have that anymore.
If i use the Picture galery webpart, where will the pictures be stored then?
thank you- If you are not using Stock Images or Organization Assets as a source, all images you upload to a page are stored in the Site Assets library on the site. The library is not created until you upload your first image on a page or add a site icon/logo.
JasonYeung Images are stored in Site Assets > Site Pages then there is a folder for each page you have created and images are stored there.

Intranet, SharePoint, Website and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)- If your image is coming from "Your organization" (if Organization Assets have been set up for your organization), you will not see it in Site Assets because you are essentially using a link to the image. If you don't see the image in Site Assets > Site Pages > Name of page, that could be the reason. The other might be because the page was "auto saved" before the page Title was added. When that happens, the folder for the images might have a weird name - like bdgstcx instead of the page name. If you see funky folder names, a tip to figure out which page they belong to is to look at the created date of the page and match it to the folder date.
