You're kidding? How has webflow even grown to this size without this feature? I keep coming back every 2 years and finally decided to go ahead with a project thinking Webflow is cooked enough.

Yet here we are. Basic basic basic feature, which devs have been notified of from 2017.

Does Webflow even care?

While running through a client handover the other day, I was left completely red faced when someone asked “and I assume we can just add pictures from the media library?”

I have sold the concept of Webflow to a number of clients over the years, but issues like this keep coming up and makes justifying remaining on the platform and paying for annual renewals more difficult. I love Webflow, but I feel this is an oversight that needs to be addressed.

Yes please - this is an essential addition to CMS functionallity.

Please get this working!

Uploaded 200 images into various organised folders to now realise I can't simply select them? Now have to re-upload them and they end up anywhere 😩

Let's get these basics working asap 🚀.

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE, for the love of God. 🙏 Webflow is so awesome at so many things, but it is just unfathomable we can't do this.

I cannot add images from assets to CMS nor can I add alt text in the CMS panel to a single image (however, I can add alt text to multi-images). Without this feature I can't make my website fully accessible even on the CMS plan.

come on

6 years later and it's still not a thing... why

This would be a great feature 🙌🏻 yes please!

I'm reiterating the sentiment from everyone below. i can't believe this is not a feature in the CMS...!!

After spending the last 30 minutes trying to figure out how to add my already loaded images from the asset manager I find this page...... there's no way this isn't a feature? i'm completely in shock. I feel cheated and almost wish we picked a different platform.

Moving to Webflow from Wordpress.
From a free tool to one that isn't.

This was a feature i believed so basic I didn't even bother to check if it was included.
Fix this or will look at other options.

I'd rather have this than some of the new features that have been presented at the keynote! Please Webflow, make it happen!

2023 and we're still waiting for what should be a basic feature... Come on webflow, let us use pictures from the Assets library in our CMS collections >_<

Weird that it isn't, particularly because you can add images to the Design Assets via API. Which is why the API includes a field to add the alt. text (I use Make to automate via API, I don't code), but that field does nothing with the alt. text you add if the image is being sent to a CMS collection field.

AKA if this feature existed (1) it would it ensure our images are always easily compressed and (2) we could eliminate an entire extra CMS form field for EVERY IMAGE on the template or used elsewhere dynamically on static pages.

It is not crazy inefficient that an Image being added to CMS requires two fields just because of the alt. text. unless you feel like wasting time adding them manually to the images in Designer?!

Hello, Webflow — I thought part of the brand mission was about quick and efficient website development? Because there are two rather high priority UI features that directly impact achieving Webflow brand goals.

Particularly strange for a site so otherwise focused on UI/UX for both the designer and subsequent website visitors.

Disappointing.

Absolutely ridiculous that this feature hasn't always existed. This is a fundamental feature of any content management system. Can't get it!

I'm hoping this function, along with other simple editing features that should've been added a long time ago, will be released or at least talked about at the Webflow Conference in October. 🥴

Can't believe this was not done yet. Come on!
