Move images

Once you add images to your article, you can rearrange them to create a custom layout. This allows you to break up text and make your article an engaging experience.

You’ll notice that your uploaded images are displayed as thumbnails within your article’s text editor. These thumbnails are grouped into image collections, making them easier for you to manage. You can create multiple collections, simply by dragging and dropping images into new positions throughout your article.

To help you move images around your article, CORE provides guidelines and placeholders as you drag and drop.

• Guidelines show you where an image can be placed within the body text of your article.
• Placeholders represent the image you are moving and help you to visualize the order of images within a gallery.

To move an image to a different location within your article’s body text:

1. Hover over the image you want to move. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair.
2. Click and drag the image around your article.
3. As you drag, use the yellow guideline to choose a new location between paragraphs.
4. Release the image when it’s in the desired position.

You’ll notice that your image thumbnail is now within a new collection, and you have the option to edit or delete the collection from the toolbar on the left side.

To move an image from one collection to another within your article:

1. Hover over the image you want to move. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair.
2. Click and drag the image anywhere on top of the existing collection.
3. You’ll see a semi-transparent thumbnail of your image appear within the collection. Use this placeholder to rearrange the order of your gallery.
4. Release the image when it’s in the desired position.

Your thumbnail is now displayed within the collection, creating an image gallery. Since there are multiple images in the collection, you also have the ability to change the gallery layout within the toolbar, in addition to the edit and delete options.
