• If you try to upload an image into a folder that is not connected to your website’s permissions, the upload will fail.

• Sitecore displays this failure by outlining the item in red and displaying an admittedly confusing message of “Not Found” This is not an error, it just means you do not have permission to use that folder.

Solution: Click the Change Destination button at the top-right of the window and use the destination tree to find and select a folder related to the website you are editing.
