Embedding Images and Other Media

Embedding Images and Other Media

On this page:


Files attached to a page are normally shown on the manage attachments screen. This isn't particularly useful however when you have images you actually want to show in the page, not just attached to the page.

Inserting Media Content to a Page

Once you've uploaded an image, you can embed the image using the 'Files & Images' action in the toolbar.

This brings up the Attachments dialog for selecting files.

Click to select the image you want to embed, and click the Insert button to add it into the page content.

note:
If you select a non-image file, a link to the selected file will be created where the cursor was placed.

 

Resizing and Moving Images Around the Page

The embedded image starts out small, and allows you to resize it using the drag handles from its sides. Simply drag and drop the image on the page to move it somewhere around the page area.

Aligning Inserted Images

You can decide whether the image should be left aligned, centered, or right aligned, and whether it should be the only content in a particular row, or allow other content like text to flow around it.

NOTE:
To delete an image, simply click it and use the backspace key on your keyboard, or click on the trash icon.

 

What about videos?

Gif files will automatically play when embedded. Other video formats cannot be embedded in a page yet.
