Inserting an Image
You can use the Insert Images feature to include graphics you upload into the question you are authoring. Images are uploaded one at a time and can be no larger than 100Kb. These images are not saved to the CNOWv2 server for later use. You can double click on an existing image to edit its properties.
Note: When using the My Images feature, you can create a pool of graphics that are saved to the server for reuse. See Uploading Images for more details.
