| Options | Explanation | Screenshots |
| Select image | The 'select image' dialogue box appears where users can browse the images that have already been uploaded to the portal builder or add new images from their PC. There is a 'Find' option to search for images in the portal builder that have been named. The 'T' icon in the right corner will provide a list of the named images to view the images only by their name. The icon to the right of this will display the images as a gallery of the images with any image names included below the associated image. Unlike the text view, the gallery view will display images that are unnamed as well as those that have been named. It is possible to upload a new image to the portal builder through the 'Create new' button. Users will be prompted to drag and drop an image into the dialog box or browse their local files to select the intended image. When uploading a new image, the user will also be prompted to enter a name for the image. |  |
| Create image | Users can create an image for the text by giving it a name, then drag and drop and image or browse for an image. However, this will not upload an image to the portal builder correctly. |  |
