What happens if images are removed from the Icomm library?
When removing images from the Icomm library, it's important to note that these images will no longer be available for use in future email marketing pieces. Newsletters and email templates are code that looks for images in the repository where they should be hosted. Therefore, if an image is removed, there will be no backup to take it from, which can result in a poor viewing experience for subscribers.
It's critical to understand that deleted images can also affect active campaigns and pieces already shipped. If an image used in an ongoing campaign is removed, recipients who open the email after removal will see a blank space or error instead of the original image.

To avoid the inconvenience of deleting images from the Icomm library, it is recommended that you follow some efficient management practices. Here are some tips:
Organize the library in folders: Icomm offers the possibility to create folders to organize the images. Take advantage of this functionality to create an orderly and logical folder structure. Consider creating folders by year, and within them, folders by months. This way, you can quickly locate the images you need without having to delete them.
Tag and Name Images: Assign descriptive names and tags to your images. This will make it easier to find and retrieve specific images in the library. By using relevant keywords, you will avoid the need to remove images due to poor organization. Avoid using special characters and spaces in image names.
Back Up: Make sure you have backup copies of your images in a safe place, either on your local system or on a cloud storage platform. This will provide additional backup if needed.
