-Images may be associated with records in Symbiota portals by storing links to those images in the database tables. If a Symbiota portal is configured to accept images (i.e., image storage at the institution that hosts the portal is allowed), those image links may be generated by the portal. Storage of a large number of images on servers associated with a Symbiota portal (e.g., at Arizona State University) may require an image-hosting agreement and/or incur image-hosting costs. Check with the portal administrator for more information about your portal's image hosting allowances. Otherwise, tools are available to link external URLs to occurrences by matching on catalog numbers.
+{{< notice tip >}}
+  As of Symbiota version 3.2, Symbiota portals support audio files! For this reason, most tools are now labeled **media** or **multimedia** tools, rather than "image tools," as in previous versions of Symbiota. **Media** refers to any audiovisual media such as images or audio files; however, video files are not currently supported.

 {{< tabs >}}
-  {{< tab "Occurrence (Specimen) Images" >}}
-  Images of physical specimens should be linked to their respective specimen records. Specimen images are available both from the Occurrence Details page and the Taxon Profile page for the taxon associated with the most recent determination. If the specimen identification is annotated, the identification of the image will be automatically re-mapped to that taxon. Specimen images can be added through the Occurrence Editor or in batch via multiple processes.

-  {{< tab "Field Images without Location" >}}
-   Images without specific locality information (e.g. lat/long coordinates) are linked only to the scientific name of the organism. These images can be viewed through Taxon Profile Pages, which have general information such as descriptions, distribution maps, synonyms, and common names. Field images are uploaded and managed through the Taxon Profile pages by users with Taxon Profile editing permissions. Field images with specific locality details (e.g. coordinates) can be loaded as Image Vouchers (see "Field Images with Location" tab). See <a href=https://biokic.github.io/symbiota-docs/editor/images/upload/>Uploading Images</a> for more details.

-  {{< tab "Field Images with Location" >}}
-  Field images with specific locality information can adequately serve as vouchers for field observations of many birds, mammals, and easy-to-identify plants. In some instances, they may actually be preferable, for instance if the organism is rare or the observer does not have the appropriate collecting permit. These images are similar to georeferenced specimen records in that they are searchable occurrence records that place a dot on the species distribution maps. There are, however, some taxonomic groups that typically require microscopic or chemical analysis for accurate identification (e.g. lichens, bryophytes, fungi). For such organisms, field images will have limited value. For this reason, some data portals might not allow the submission of observations without a physical specimen.

   Image Vouchers are displayed on both the Occurrence Details and the Taxon Profile pages. Image-supported observations can be uploaded using the Observation Submission page. Up to three images can be submitted for a single observation. Data fields required for an image to qualify as a voucher include: observer name, observation date, country, state, locality description, latitude, longitude, and at least one image. Contact your data portal administrator for information on whether observations are allowed and the necessary protocols for submitting an observation. Some portals require the review of a tutorial before one is authorized to submit an observation.

 {{< notice tip >}}
   Images uploaded or linked to specimens in a Symbiota portal should be JPGs or in another web-friendly format. It is recommended that individual files are no larger than 8 MB to allow users with slower connectivity to view them within a reasonable timeframe.

-Externally Hosted images can be added to Symbiota records using one of three primary methods: (1) using the URL mapping tool and a [spreadsheet of catalog numbers with image URLs](/symbiota-docs/coll_manager/images/url_upload/); (2) mapping a column of image links to the associatedMedia field when conducting a Full Text File Upload or Skeletal File Upload. For more information about uploading text files, see [this page](/symbiota-docs/coll_manager/upload/). If you already have data in the portal, and you just want to add image links, do NOT use Full Text File Upload; or (3) importing a Darwin Core Archive of your data with a fully-populated <a href=https://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/multimedia.xml target=_blank>multimedia extension</a>.

-There are several workflows used to batch upload/link internally hosted specimen images. Batch processing typically consists of two separate steps: (1) Loading images onto a web server, and (2) Mapping image URLs to Symbiota occurrence records. Step (2) is possible when images are named according to the catalog number or other catalog number associated with the record in the portal.
