Clicking on "Image", special marks (image and arrow) will appear on the page where it is possible to add image. To add image, click on one of these arrows at the location you wish image to appear. If the page already has an image, pressing the given marks lets you modify it replace with another image or remove completely. Every text field that starts with a mark “Image” and ends with small arrow mark are linked to Image Editor page. If there are no such marks, the current template does not support images. In this case, change the template according to support images insertion.

Clicking the special marks application will open a pop-up window which contains an image configuration area. If you open application with already inserted image, the pop-up window will show this image in preview mode and you will allow set attributes for that image. To insert new image press Choose from image archive button, then the pop-up window will reopen to the Image Archive. Also you have a possibility to Add/choose restricted image, which means that the image will be added as document with his own Meta ID, not as a part of a page.

After selecting the desired image you can set additional attributes for it.
