Importing images

Last Updated : Jun 19, 2024 |

About this task

Image files must be in the svg, gif, or png format. Use the jpg format only if you are unable to get the file in svg, gif, or png format.

Save the images in a folder with content type set to Image. Usually, this folder is named images for consistency. However, you can give a different name based on your project. You can import multiple images at a time from the same source folder.

See the Importing and adding an image to a topic video for steps to add images to a topic.

Before you begin

Create the images folder within your content folder, if it does not already exist.

Procedure

  1. On the Publication Manager menu bar, click Tools > Browse Repository.
  2. In the navigation pane, browse and select the folder to which you want to upload the image.
  3. On the right pane, click the import (Import File icon) icon.
  4. On the Import File dialog box, browse and select one or more files to import, and then click Open.

    The system imports the files and displays the Add Object dialog box.

  5. In the Title field, add a name to identify the image.

    Add SVG in the title to distinguish an SVG image from other formats.

    For example, ConfigurationDiagram_SVG.

  6. Required For SVG images, on the Add Object dialog box, click Enable translation management.




    Do not select any languages; the Localization team must do that.

  7. Complete the fields on each tab as appropriate.
  8. Click OK.
