# Files

To link files to a room you can use the "**files**" property when [creating](/reference/rest-api/rooms/create.md) or [editing](/reference/rest-api/rooms/edit.md) a room.

A file can be a single image or a collection (array) of images if it is a presentation. 

Users with **present\_files** permission can later open these files inside the room from the **Files** panel and displayed them to all other users. Navigation between presentation's slides is available and arrows can also be used to go to next or previous slide.
