+### Media Module
+
+An `OverwriteMedia` option has been added to `MediaOptions` to allow you to configure whether the media will be overwritten if it exists or not.
+
+
 ### Sealing Types
 
 Many type commonly used by classes can be `sealed`, which improves runtime performance. While it's not mandatory, we recommend that you consider applying this improvement to your own extensions as well. We've implemented this enhancement in pull request [#16897](https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore/pull/16897).
