# Replacement of standard Media Manager

Quantum Manager replaces the standard manager in the field of type "media".

Here how the selection of article image looks like when the replacement is enabled:

<figure><img src="/files/8ta5R4bkHQEnTdH8j1J9" alt=""><figcaption><p>Media field</p></figcaption></figure>

You can configure in which components this replacement should be enabled. To do that proceed to *Extensions* > *Plugins* and serach for "System - Redirect Media (com\_media) call to Quantum Manager".

### Plugin Options

#### Replace media field

Enable replacement of media field.

#### Where to replace

Select the components (with sections), in which replacement should be enabled. By default "Articles: Single Article".

#### Show Preview

#### Default Path

You can use Quantum Manager variables here (the same as for [Scopes](https://docs.norrnext.com/joomla-extensions/quantum-manager/component-options/general#scope-folders)).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.norrnext.com/quantum-manager/replacement-of-standard-media-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
