Images

Images stored on your computer/file share can be added to your pages using the CKEditor toolbar and Drupal's Media Library.

  1. Place the cursor at the beginning of a paragraph. In most cases it's best to insert images at the left edge of the editing window, even if you want the image to be centered or right-aligned.
  2. Click the Insert from Media Library button.
