Inserting a managed image in an area with formatted text

Use the Image button to insert an image stored in Content Manager at the current cursor position in an area where formatting is allowed. Depending on the webpage you are on, it may also be possible to insert a standalone image at a specific position.

Procedure

  1. On an editable webpage, start editing by clicking the pencil button in the top right corner.
  2. Place your cursor in the position where you want to insert an image.
  3. If the Insert tab at the top of the page shows an enabled Image control, click this control.
    The library slides into view on the left.
  4. If you want to upload a new file, you can do so in several ways:
    • If you use a Chrome or Firefox browser in Windows, you can drag a file from Windows Explorer or from your desktop directly onto the Library. The file is uploaded and a Multimedia Component is created that contains the file in the Folder location in which you dropped the file.
    • Alternatively, click the area at the bottom to open a system file selection dialog, navigate to the location of your file, and select it.
    The name of your file must not contain the characters %, & or +, nor any non-ASCII characters.
  5. Alternatively, navigate through the Folder structure until you see a thumbnail of the item you want to use. If you know (part of) the name of the item you want to insert, you can also click the Search button at top left and enter it, using the * and ? wildcard characters where necessary, into the search box that appears.
  6. To see more detailed information about this item, such as its title, creation date, or who created it, click on the "i" icon.
  7. Click Select to use the currently selected image.
  8. In the Insert Image dialog, if you want to, you can see and change the alignment, size, and other advanced settings by clicking Advanced.
  9. Click OK to insert the image you selected.
