== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will it slow down my website? =
No. Mediamatic uses its own custom database tables for folder indexing. This completely avoids costly JOIN queries on `wp_posts` and scales to 100,000+ files with no performance impact.

= Can I export folders? =
Yes. Go to **Mediamatic > Export** to export your existing folders structure.

= Does it work with Elementor's media picker? =
Yes. The folder panel appears inside Elementor's media modal.

= What happens if I deactivate the plugin? =
Your media files are untouched. Folder assignments are stored separately and can be re-activated at any time.
