Adding images and attachments

Adding images

Before you add an image, make sure that it is the correct size and shape for your web page, and that the file size is optimised for the web. If you put an image with a very large file size into a wiki page, it will take a long time for users to download it. Many painting programmes will allow you to compress images for the web.

To add an image, select the 'edit' button to edit the page. Then select the 'embed resource' button. This will take you to your Resources folder. You can either click 'select' to select an existing image on your worksite or click 'add new' to upload a new image from your computer. When you have chosen your image, click 'finish'.Your image will be inserted into your page.

If you update the image in Resources, your image in Wiki will automatically be updated too.

Adding attachments

Select the 'edit' button to edit the page. Then select the 'resource link' button. This will take you to your Resources folder. You can either click 'select' to attach an existing resource on your worksite or click 'add new' to attach a new resource from your computer. When you have chosen your image, click 'finish'.Your image will be inserted into your page.

Attachments are stored in Resources but you don't need to have the Resources tool enabled to add attachments. You can link to any sort of resource that you create in Resources so, any type of file you upload, or an HTML file or text file you create.

If you update the file in Resources, your attachment will automatically be updated too.
