Resolution

1. Navigate to the course > Media Gallery > Channel Actions > Edit
2. Modify the any of following information:

• Details tab: edit the Description, add Tags, and select any desired Options. Click Save.

• Moderate content (selected by default): A gallery manager or moderator will be prompted to approve added media by people who are not Teachers, TAs, or Designers.  
• Enable comments in Media Gallery (selected by default): Enables the comments tab for all media in the Media Gallery. Comments can be blocked on a single media item in the Options tab on the Edit Media page. See the Media Options article.
• Keep comments private to Media Gallery (optional): Keeps media comments, when enabled, private to the Media Gallery. This is useful when media is published in more than one Media Gallery and you do not want student’s comments to be viewed in other courses. 
• Display embedded media in this Media Gallery (optional): Displays all media embedded in course content (Pages, Announcements, etc) in the Media Gallery along with all media published to the Media Gallery. Important: MiVideo student assignment submissions will also appear in the Media Gallery when this option is checked.

• Theme tab: Change the first tab seen in the Media Gallery. Click Submit.
• Playlist tab: Create and manage the Media Gallery playlists. See the Playlists articles for information about creating, adding media, and editing playlists.
