3. A dialog box will open to select the image you wish to add to the page. Click on the browse icon to select your image.
4. Fill out the fields accordingly
- Alternative Description: This is the alt-text for the image and is required for the accessibility reader. Tip: think how you’d briefly describe the image over the phone to someone.
- Width and Height: This will default to the current size of the image, this can be edited depending on the restrictions of your sites CSS
- Class: The CMS has style classes setup for use when using images on a page. You can apply the Image left, Image right or Image centered classes to position the image alongside other content on the page.
5. Click the OK button and the image will be placed onto the page where you had placed your cursor.
