As of the last deployment on May 9, the Web Dev Team implemented the Media Replace and Media Delete modules in Drupal to offer greater control and flexibility for site administrators. Media Replace allows users to update the underlying file of a media entity\u2014such as swapping out an outdated image or PDF\u2014without breaking existing references to that media item throughout the site. This streamlined workflow simplifies media updates and helps maintain content integrity across pages. With Media Delete, users can cleanly remove media entities along with their associated files, preventing clutter and unused assets from accumulating in the media library. Together, these modules support better media lifecycle management for Drupal websites.
