# Reusing media

Media is stored in the **Media Library** and can easily be **reused anywhere** on your website. As such, you should always check the Media Library to see if what you're about to upload already exists.

{% hint style="info" %}
Media reuse prevents duplicates and ensures consistency.
{% endhint %}

As an example of media assets being reused across the website, while editing a page, I can use the same image in both the **Thumbnail** field and in the **Content** WYSIWYG field.

<figure><img src="/files/zomTo5kSFPusyevtBrxt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In *this* example they're being used on the same page, however they can be reused anywhere across the entire website.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-content-administration/media-and-files/reusing-media.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
