Change history¶

The functional changes to Media Bridge, newest first. Version 28.0.0.0, for Business Central 28.0.

September 30, 2026¶

Automated test suite. Media Bridge now has 185 automated tests covering storage providers, the setup, migration, the migration log and runner, drag and drop, permission sets and the clear utilities. Uploading to Tenant Media during a migration or a drop was made more robust along the way: a picture that fails no longer affects the rest of the run.

Employee pictures. Employee photos can be stored in External File Storage too. The Employee Card has a new picture factbox with drag and drop, and employee photos are included in the migration wizard and the migration log. Employee photos always stay in their own company. See Employee Pictures.
Drag and drop on the Item Card. Drop an image file on the carousel to upload it to the item or a variant, or to create a new variant from it. See Drop pictures on an item.
Safer Clear Item Pictures. The function only deletes the Tenant Media pictures of items and item variants in the current company. Media of other apps, other companies and shared media is kept. It asks for two confirmations, including typing the company name, needs its own permission set (Clear Item Media) and is only available in sandboxes. See Clear item pictures.
Complete permission sets. Media Storage Mgt. now covers every Media Bridge page and function a user needs, without SUPER.
Namespaces. All objects now live in the TheFramework.MediaBridge namespace. This doesn't change anything for users.

Clearer migration errors. When a picture can't be read during a migration, the migration log now shows the real cause, for example a missing file or a refused connection, instead of a generic message.

Per-record migration log. Every migration run records one line per record, with its status and, for failures, the reason. See Fix failed records.
Resume and retry. Continue an interrupted run with Resume Run, or retry only the failed records with Retry Failed. Nothing is uploaded twice.
Reliable run counters. The counters on Media Migration Runs are calculated from the log, and a new Source Delete Failed counter explains every processed record. Total was renamed Processed.
Crashed background runs are released automatically. A background migration that crashes is marked Failed, so a new migration can start right away. A Possibly Stuck indicator flags runs that have been in progress for more than 24 hours.
Activity Log summary. Each run writes one summary to the Activity Log.
Retention policy. Old migration runs and log lines can be deleted with a retention policy. See Clean up migration history.
Background migration fix. Scheduling a migration in the background now starts the right job.

Dedicated Media Bridge Setup page. All settings moved from Inventory Setup to the new Media Bridge Setup page, also listed in Manual Setup. Migration history moved to the new Media Migration Runs page. See The Media Bridge Setup page.
Ready for more kinds of records. Storage was rebuilt so that new kinds of records (such as employees) can get picture support without changing how storage works.
