The image tool helps the process of including images into documents such as wiki pages. Specifically, the image tool simplifies the process of adding new images, then makes finding the correct image as easy as possible.
First, the image tool breaks the task into a narrower focus by concentrating on the source of the image. You might be uploading a new image, or choosing an image you recently uploaded into the system. The image might be elsewhere in the community, or on another website. Each of these are "sources" with a unique screen for that task.
When uploading a new image, the image is stored directly inside the document. You don't have to go to a folder, upload the image, then go back to editing the document. The image can be previewed before inserting into the document, and some basic settings edited. For example, you can choose the size of the "thumbnail" image to display in the document. The image will then be a hyperlink to view the full-size image.
The "My Recent" and "This Community" sources provide a high-speed facility for navigating through a potentially-large collection of images.
The "Web" source allows previewing an image on the Internet outside of the system, then referencing it in your document.
Select file to upload, then press the Upload button! File will be uploaded into the current page.
Select the URL of the external image to be used in your document.
