Hi there!

Are we able to restrict what media assets can be uploaded?

A user uploaded a .jpe image file (instead of a .jpg) which stopped an article being published. Is there a way we are able to restrict the user’s ability to upload such files?

Here’s a screenshot of the “Resources” area with the Media asset uploader.

p.s. I also added this as a discussion point on GitHub here: Can you restrict the file types that can be uploaded in a blog post? · Discussion #6505 · netlify/netlify-cms · GitHub
