    Working with Images


    There are two ways to add images in your articles.

    Use the + option to add an image block

    Using either the plus button or the / key on a new line select the image. This will insert an image placeholder and immediately open the image popup:

    The image placeholder can be left in your article if you simply need a placeholder where you plan to add images later.

    Image Popup Options

    From the image popup either click the camera photo or drag/drop an image on to the image placeholder to initiate the upload.

    Images uploaded to HelpGuides are automatically added to a CDN for more efficient image delivery performance.
