Uploading an Image
Step 1
Click on the Add Content button near the top left of the screen, and then click Upload Image.
- You can find a complete list of image sizes used by the framework at https://framework.communications.iu.edu/image-docs/index.html.

Step 2
Edit your File Name, which is the file name the WCMS will use to refer to your image.
- Remember to always use lowercase letters, hyphens instead of spaces, and no special characters. Like pages, the WCMS uses your image's File Name in the URL.

Step 3
Choose a Placement Folder, or the folder into which the WCMS will save your image.
All images on your site should be placed in the /images folder (or a sub-folder within).
Step 4
Add a short Summary of the image. This is required because it allows users using assistive technologies like screen readers to understand the image's content.
