Suggestion: do not embed uploaded medias in text area after upload

@benj,

I've just asked our developers about it and currently, I'm waiting for the response from them.
I'll update the topic asap.

Hi @benj,

Here everything is simple. 

Please see the differences between the "My Media" and "Attach Files" buttons. 

1. When you click on the  "Attach Files" button, it opens a dialog window and once you choose the image it automatically adds image inside the post.

2. If you click on the "My Media" button, you'll see all the images uploaded by you and the "Add files..." button. In this case, if you click on the "Add files..." button the dialog window will be opened and you'll be able to choose the file, however, the files will not be inserted into the post until you'll not click on the "Insert into post" button. See the screenshot below.

So in your case, you'll just need to write the post content, the upload and insert the images via the "My Media" button.

Please check the difference between the "My Media" and  "Attach Files" buttons yourself. 

If you want we can provide you a CSS code that'll allow you to hide the "Attach Files" button. In this case, only the selected will be inserted into a post.
