  1. Select Specific File - Choose the specific file you want to share from the dropdown list

  2. Submit Changes - Click the submit button at the bottom of the page

  3. Confirmation - The process is near-instant as it is done with a branch command - The file is now available to the Tenant within their own Media Images section
