image file management
I've asked this question before - about deleting old images. Archiving them was an option mentioned as the only option. I just started deleting old images and it takes a minute or more to delete them. Wow.
Perhaps archiving them would help as I'm noticing things slowing down when I working on new promotions and sometimes the previews aren't even showing up. Which in the past usually means its time to delete the mountain of old, not being used images. thanks

Hi Keith! It's true that having a vary large image library may cause some slower performance, so you should see things speed up again as you start to delete files. EDIT: There is a way to multi-select images for deletion. More information here.

I have a question to add to this discussion. How do you know which of your images are used in email campaigns or on landing pages so you don't delete those? If you delete an image that's in a sent email will that image disappear from the email if you happen to delete it from the image library?

Hi Teresa - as Keith mentioned over here there isn't anything to stop you from deleting images that are still in use. And yes, images will appear broken if they're deleted but still referenced in an email on landing page. If you want to add this as a feature request on our idea board please feel free! I know that many of our customers use the Image Library to host files on web pages outside of Act-On, but I could still see this being a useful addition.
