Welcome to the documentation for Mediakit, a media gallery plugin for Siemens Polarion ALM. Mediakit presents a work item's attachments as a visual gallery — thumbnails for images, type icons for everything else — and lets you upload and delete files without leaving the work item.

Mediakit stores nothing of its own. Every file it shows is an ordinary Polarion attachment, so your existing permissions, revisions, and history apply exactly as they always have.

## Where Mediakit Appears

Mediakit adds two independent surfaces. Configure whichever suits your project — you can use both.
