Steps
A group of files, uploaded at the same time, will likely have commonalities that can be expressed by one or more tags. When uploading multiple files, all are selected by default allowing users to apply one tag. A user can still add a tag to individual files using the Tag Selected Items button in the Media Library.

Considerations for large video files (cloud hosted environments)
The max file size depends on the account level.
- Venus Basic - 2GB video max
- Venus Select - 5GB video max
- Venus Professional - 10GB video max
- Venus Enterprise - 20GB video max
This is also specific to video files; all other file types remain at 2GB.
- Resumability - In case the tab closes or the internet connection drops during the upload, users can resume from the point of interruption. They need to log back in and reselect the file they were uploading to proceed. (This works for up to 7 days.)
- Retries- If the internet connection disrupts during the upload, Venus Media Library will try to reconnect and continue the upload process up to five times, with a 30-second interval between each retry.
