# Access and Manage Private Images

After completing the upload and conversion process, you can manage your uploaded images through DCD.

To access and manage your images, follow these steps:

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Storage & Backup** > **Images & Snapshots**.

2\. Open the **Image** tab and select the private image you would like to manage.

3\. Under the **Meta Data** tab, modify the following details, if necessary:

* **Name:** Rename the image, if required.
* **OS Type**: Select the appropriate operating system.
* **Cloud Init Support**: The field value is set to **Supported** automatically if the image supports `cloud-init`; otherwise, it is set to **Unsupported**.
* **Description**: Add relevant details to help identify the image.
* **Live Vertical Scaling**: Configure by setting **Scale CPU**, **Scale RAM**, **Hotplug NICs**, and **Hotplug VirtIO** based on your requirements.
* **UEFI Support**: Select **Image is UEFI-compatible** from the drop-down list if the image is UEFI-compatible.

4\. Click **Save** to apply the configuration.
