Add an image
Upload an image, add alternative text, and choose it for a page block.
On this page
You'll put an image in the shared library and use it on a page. Allow about three minutes. Have an image you have permission to use ready on your computer.
Upload and describe the imageLink to this section
-
Open Uploads, then choose Create new Upload.
-
Choose Select a file and select your image. You can also drag a file into the upload area. Check the filename before saving.
-
Fill in Alternative text. Describe what a visitor needs to understand about the image. For a logo, the organization's name is usually enough. For a photo, describe its useful subject rather than writing "image" or repeating the filename.
-
Choose Save and wait for it to finish. Return to Uploads and find the filename. The image belongs to the shared library, so you can use it on more than one page. If saving fails, see upload help. You can use an existing library image to finish the tour.
Use the image in a blockLink to this section
-
Return to your practice page in Pages. Click a blank paragraph in the main Content editor. Open the blocks menu and choose Image.
-
Under Select image, choose Choose from existing. Find your upload by its filename and select it. You can use an existing library image for practice too.
-
Check the selected filename and thumbnail in the Image block. Advanced settings controls its width, shape, and optional link. Keep the defaults for your first image.
-
Choose Save Draft, check Live Preview, and choose Publish changes when the image looks right.
Check afterwardsLink to this section
The file should appear in Uploads, and the page should show the intended image. Check it on a smaller screen too. If the crop hides the subject, review the image's settings before publishing.
