The document introduces a new feature in Site Manager 7.1 called multiple media formatters. This allows media items stored in the media library to be reused across different formats (image, path, CSS, etc.) by selecting a formatter type within the <t4> tag. Examples are given of how this could be used for images in CSS, a lightbox gallery, and regular HTML content without duplicating the media item. A demonstration of uploading an image and using it in these different ways is also offered.
