Adding image assets
Add images, illustrations, and graphics to your book project by first uploading them to the Asset Manager. Here you can also add metadata to your assets including titles and alt text. Supported image files include bmp, GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, and WebP. If you uploaded a Word document with images, step one and three below will already be complete for any images contained in the uploaded document.
Step one: add images to your book’s Asset Manager
Go to the Book Builder and select the Asset Manager icon from the toolbar; or go to the Editor of any Part, Chapter, or Component and select the image icon from the toolbar.
Select “Upload Images” in the lower left.
Browse to the folder containing your image files. Select a single file or use your operating system’s method for selecting multiple files and select “Open.”
Step two: edit image metadata in the Asset Manager
In the Asset Manager, select the image you want to edit. Selected images will be highlighted in blue.
A thumbnail image with metadata options will appear on the right. Metadata that can be edited include image name and alt text.
Select the edit icon (pencil) next to the field you would like to edit.
Enter your text.
Select the save icon (diskette).
When finished entering metadata changes, select the X in the upper right or close the Asset Manager.
Step three: insert images into content
Go to the Editor of any Part, Chapter, or Component.
Place the cursor in the position where you would like to insert the image.
Select the Upload Images icon from the toolbar. This will display the Asset Manager for the current book project. You may upload new images (see above) or select images that were previously uploaded.
Check the box next to the desired image(s) and select “Insert Image/s.”
To add a caption, place the cursor in the highlighted caption box beneath the image. If no caption is needed, leave this area blank.
