Import Files from Desktop
“Import Files from Desktop” in Elementor refers to the feature that allows users to upload and use files directly from their computer (desktop) into the Elementor page builder. This feature is useful for adding various types of media such as images, videos, PDFs, or other document files to a webpage designed using Elementor.
Here’s how it works:
1. Access the Media Library
Inside Elementor, go to the section where you want to add a media file (e.g., image or document widget).
