SiteDrive Terminologies

What is a SiteDrive Listing?

Once a file has been imported into SiteDrive, a listing is created that acts as a bridge between the source file in WordPress and SiteDrive itself. You can click into a listing to manage the settings of the file including things like the preview picture, privacy, and more.

If an item is deleted from a drive, but another site already imported the item, it won't delete it from the site that imported it. It will delete the listing on the site hosting the item. You never have to worry about deleting a source file in WordPress. If you delete a file from SiteDrive, it is only removing it from SiteDrive, not WordPress.
