How do I add images to my portfolio?
Step 1: Select Upload & Display Method
There are two methods for adding images to your portfolio:
- Insert Full-Size Image: This option allows for the image to appear in full-size and for it to be aligned on the page (left, center, right) with or without accompanying text.
- Add File: This option allows for the image to appear in full-size directly on the portfolio page. The image may be edited using a built-in image editor.
Select your preferred method below:
Typically, students will use the Add File option to upload an image to their portfolio.
Adding a file adds the full-size image to the page, but does not provide the option to align the image. If you would like to align the image in the centre or right of the page, you should use the Insert Image into Text Editor option.
You cannot use the image editor when inserting the image into the text editor.
Step 1: Add Image to File Library
In order to insert an image into the text editor, it must already be uploaded and saved as an image within your Anthology Portfolio account. Use the Add File method for adding content, and then delete the image thumbnail from your portfolio page. This will ensure that the image file has been saved to your account's File Library and is ready for use in the text editor.
Step 2: Access the Text Editor
1. Use the Add Content menu to select Text Block.
Step 3: Choose Where to Add Content
You may add content anywhere on the page that an Insert Content Here bar appears.
You will not encounter this step if there is currently no content on the page. Instead the content window that you selected will open for you automatically.
2. Click on the Insert Content Here bar that corresponds with the space that you would like to add your content to reveal the Text Editor.
Step 4: Use the Text Editor's 'Library Image' Feature
3. Click on the Library Image button to reveal your account's File Library, which you will use to select the image file.
Step 5: Select Image File from File Library
4. Using the Sources column, select the folder which contains the image file. If you have not added custom folders, you will select the File Library or Images folder; Both will contain the image file.
5. In the middle column, locate and select the file that you would like to add. Click Add Selected or Drag-and-Drop the file into the third column.
6. Click Done.
Step 6: Optionally Edit File Size
Double-Click on the image to reveal image dimensions, which you may edit. If you do edit the dimensions, click Save.
Step 7: Save the Image, and Close the Text Editor
7. Click Save, and then Close.
The 'Add File' option allows you to upload files from your computer to your Anthology Portfolio ePortfolio. Each file that you upload will be placed in your portfolio, as well as saved in your File Library for later use. While many file types are available for upload in every Anthology Portfolio site, certain types may not be available at your institution. For a complete list of acceptable file types, please contact your local Anthology Portfolio Administrator.
