In plex as an admin I get the option to upload a subtitle, but where is that subtitle saved? And is it permanent? I have search in the plex articles but only found this which was related to the topic but doesn’t answer my question [https://support.plex.tv/articles/import-or-delete-a-subtitle-file/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/import-or-delete-a-subtitle-file/). They aren’t “sidecar” subtitles files because I can’t find them alongside the episode. ---

The subtitle is saved in the metadata area. If you ever re-initialized (started over), the subtitle would be gone. IMHO, you’re better off directly placing the subtitle file with your media so it’s permanent. ---
