All files uploaded to the Media Library and File Stores in the Web CMS after the above date and time will no longer use the current filename formats when published. 

The current filename formats for the Media Library (Media,123456,smxx.pdf) and File Stores (Filetoupload,123456,en.pdf) will be replaced with the name of the uploaded file e.g., ‘annual-report-and-accounts-2023-24.pdf’. 

When a visitor downloads a file from your website, that file will have the full filename.  

This will be a ‘point in time’ change and will not affect existing files in the Media Library and File Stores in the Web CMS, unless they are updated with a new version of a file, after 10.00am on Monday 23rd October 2023. 

To clarify: 

• New files – Uploaded after 10.00am on Monday 23rd October 2023 will have the full filename e.g. ‘Filetoupload,123456,en.pdf’ will become ‘annual-report-and-accounts-2023-24.pdf’. 
• Existing Files – The filename of an existing file will only be affected if a new version of that file is uploaded to the Web CMS after 10.00am on Monday 23rd October 2023.
