As part of using Project Builder & Library to create a shared repository of organizational knowledge and product-related data, you can upload images for any product. Products can include as many images as you want.
You can upload images in three different places:
- The Manufacturer brand list page accessed via a Project’s Products tab
- Your Favorite Products Library
- Your organization’s Favorite Products Library
Where you upload images depends on your preferred workflow:
- If you build Favorite Products Libraries before starting Projects: Upload images to your personal or organization’s Favorite Product Library first. Anyone who subsequently uses the Favorite Products Library to populate Projects will automatically get a copy of the images in their Projects.
- If you build Projects, then decide later which products to add to a Library: Upload images to the Manufacturer brand list page. When you add those products to a Favorite Products Library later, those images will be copied to the Library as well.
Adding images
The interface for uploading and managing images is the same no matter where you upload files, so the instructions below apply throughout Project Builder & Library.
To add images to a product:
- Click the Images accordion for the product.
- Drag and drop or select the file you want to upload.
- Edit the image name if desired.
- Optionally, add alternative text for screen reader users.
- Optionally, add a description of the image.
- Click Save.
Once your image has been uploaded, you’ll see it added to the ongoing list of images for that product. Also, when you view this product on the Products tab, you'll see a count of how many images it includes.
Editing and deleting images
Who can edit image information or delete images varies depending on whether the images are in a Project or a Favorite Products Library.
- Projects: only editors, owners and account administrators may edit or delete images.
- Your personal Favorite Products Library: only you may edit or delete images.
- Your organization’s Favorite Products Library: only account administrators may edit or delete images.
To edit an image's information:
- Click the image. Its name, alternative text and description are now editable.
- Click the Save button to save your changes.
To delete an image:
- Click the delete link next to the Download button.
- A confirmation window will appear asking you to confirm you want to delete the image.
- Click Delete to delete the image or Cancel to close the window without deleting anything.
Downloading images
You can download all images for a product by clicking the Download all images button at the lower left of the image gallery. You can also download individual images by clicking on them and then clicking the Download button at lower right of the popup.
