Use this procedure to insert a digital asset (image, PDF, text file, etc.) into the content editor window of your page. If the digital asset is not yet in the digital asset library, you must add the digital asset to the library first using the procedure below titled Adding digital assets to the library.
Place your cursor at the location where you want to insert the asset.
On the toolbar, click the Insert Digital Asset button.
Locate the image in the Asset Library.
Click on the asset.
If you want to turn this digital asset into a link that opens another digital asset, check the Link selected image checkbox. For example if you want to insert an image and have users click on the image to open a document, you would check this box and then select the document that is to be opened.
Select whether you want the asset to open in the Same Window or New Window.
Click Insert.
Click Save once the asset is inserted into your web page.

Enter the Description of the asset. For example, you may wish to enter copyright information or author, artist, photographer information and important descriptive information. This field allows a maximum of 1000 characters.
Enter an Alt Tag for the digital asset. The text you enter here will be displayed when users place the mouse pointer over top of the asset image or link.
