Once you have uploaded all of your media files you can easily download all of them in one click, with all the correct file names. You can choose to download the Media ZIP from several locations on CommCareHQ:1-
- on the main application page under "Multimedia"
...
- in the Multimedia Manager main page (see above)
...
- in the release manager of your application after clicking "deploy"
- The file will be downloaded as a ZIP and you will have to unzip the file in order to use it. By storing and transmitting it as a ZIP is a good idea so that you don't lose any of those media files!

Important Notes:
- Other media types, such as video, are not currently supported by the Multimedia Manager. These will have to be uploaded by adding a link to the file in the form, and then manually putting the correctly named file in the right place.
- If you change the name of a question ID, the file-path will not automatically update. You can keep using the old file-path and any media you had previously uploaded. If you want to use the new question id in the file-path, you will need to delete the reference and add it again, then go back to the multimedia manager to upload the media file again.
- The multimedia manager is not directly related to the release manager, it is related to the application in its current state. This means that if you make a lot of changes to an application and download an old build, the multimedia manger will still reflect the current state of the application (most recent build).
