Collections and Articles Featured Image not available in Content/Files after Mutation

GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting
1

Hey Shopify Devs,

We are working with collectionUpdate and articleUpdate mutation. We are giving the flexiblity to the user to change Image Filename and Image Alt Text.

input: {
image : {
altText: "New Alt Text",
src: "https://example.com/new-filename.png"
}
}

And for articleUpdate it’s {image: {url: "https://example.com/image.png"}}

The image updates inside Collection but it’s not available inside Content/Files options of the app.

Will the image stay forever or it might get deleted by shopify after certain time period.

Collections and articles are still on the old setup and haven’t been moved over to the new setup yet. So I’m pretty certain this is expected behaviour.

Forever I’m pretty certain, they can’t just go deleting images associated to your collections/articles. This is not a confirmed answer, though.
