The new Media Library becomes the default on 2026-09-16, so its usage documentation returns to the Media Library page, the temporary beta page is removed with a redirect, and the betaMediaLibrary future flag disappears from the reference. The opt-out instructions for useLegacyMediaLibrary come once the flag's configuration location is decided.

This PR makes the new Media Library the documented default, for its general availability on September 16th. It is the follow-up to #3450, which put the new UI on a temporary page while the previous UI is still the default.
/cms/features/media-library, replacing the previous UI section, and deletes the temporary/cms/features/media-library-betapage with a redirect to the main pagebetaMediaLibraryrow of the future flags referenceuseLegacyMediaLibraryopt-out undocumented for now, since CMS-1576 has not decided where that property lives, nor which version removes the legacy Media LibraryThe claims of the reworked view configuration caution were verified against a Strapi 5.52.3 app with
betaMediaLibraryenabled: the Media Library page carries no link to the view configuration page,/admin/plugins/upload/configurationanswers 200 with an empty page rather than an error, and the media field of the Content Manager still opens the previous asset picker and still honours both stored settings, its request being/upload/files?page=1&sort=createdAt:DESC&pageSize=10against a stored configuration of{"pageSize":10,"sort":"createdAt:DESC"}. One sentence could not be verified:useLegacyMediaLibraryappears in no published release, so its name comes from CMS-1576 alone and has to be confirmed against the implementation before this merges.Still needed before merge: the configuration location and environment variable of
useLegacyMediaLibrary, the legacy removal version that CMS-1576 asks the documentation to state from day one, confirmation that the in-app Beta notice goes away with the beta styling, and a new recording of the guided tour at the top of the page, which still shows the previous UI.Direct preview link 👉 here
