You can embed images using the content editor in two ways:

OPTION A: Use the editor functions to add images along with text content. Images can be hosted online or in cloud storage.

1. Select Add Content > Insert/Edit Image from Web.

2. Type or paste an image URL to embed an image hosted online. You must use the http:// protocol.
   
   
   
   

3. Include a description of the image in the Alternative text box so users who can't view the image are able to understand the image's importance.

OPTION B: Upload an image from your local drive.

1. Click the paper clip icon to select the image file.

2. Edit the file's settings, including the display name and alternative text so users who can't view the image are able to understand the image's importance.

3. Choose whether to insert the file as a link in the editor or to embed the file directly so it appears inline with other content you've added.
