How do I add a banner image to my Ultra course?

 

Your banner image always displays as the course card thumbnail on the Courses page. In courses, you can toggle the Course Image to display the image within your course as well.

  1. Go to your Ultra course.

  2. Select Course Image → Edit display settings from the Details & Actions panel on the left side of your course.




  3. Click the Upload new image button.

  4. Select your banner image from your drive or cloud storage. The banner image must be at least 1200 x 240 pixels. NOTE: Images with text are not accessible and do not scale well.

  5. Reposition your image by clicking and dragging. You can also use the arrow keys, to reposition. Click DONE when finished.




  6. Enter a description for your image or mark the image as decorative. NOTE: This element will be available as of 12/3/2021.
