From the Media page you can click the Source Article link to open the article in Zendesk directly from Help Center Manager. You can then edit the article and update the image or video in the Zendesk Help Center in the usual way by uploading the image and inserting it in the relevant place in the article.
Reasons that Images and Video could be Broken
The following are reasons why images and videos would be showing as not valid.
- An image has been inserted in an article, and then the uploaded image has been deleted from the Zendesk Insert Image pop-up, but the reference to the image is still in the article.
- For images added before the introduction of the Zendesk Image Gallery feature.
An image that has been copied from another article, and then the source article has been archived. Zendesk adds the image as a link to the source article. When reading and editing the article, the image will show only the alt text for the image. - A video has been added using the Add Video function in Zendesk, but then the video has been deleted or moved and therefore no longer exists in the original location. In Zendesk, this shows as an invalid video when looking at the article, but when editing an article and without displaying the article as a reader you would not always know a video has been deleted or moved.
