You may insert more then one image at a time, and you may choose to load each image either from your computer or from the site's image library.

To insert an image, first select a block by clicking once on the tag icon, then choose either Insert > Images > Before selection, or Insert > Images > After selection from the Menu Bar. The Satellite Window will open to the Insert Image screen.

Choose from one of the following options:


Insert a group of images before/after the selected block

This will create a new paragraph, necessary if you’d like to include a caption, or to manage the images as a group.

Choose this option if you would like to insert more then one image, though nothing prohibits you from inserting a "group of one".
