How to insert static images

First of all, make sure that the images you need are in the website folder (exposed as a read-only media store).

  1. From the System perspective, locate the folder exposed in the Media perspective (~/download by default).
  2. Upload all the necessary image files there.

Next, insert images on the page:

  1. Edit a page.
  2. Place the cursor where you want to insert a static image.
  3. Insert > Image.
  4. Then in the Select Image window that shows up automatically, locate and expand the media store ("Static files from ~/download" by default).
  5. Select the image.
  6. Click OK in the Select Image window, then in the Insert Image window.

The image will appear on the page in Visual Editor.

The internal link to the image file will read "~/media(download:{GUID})" where "download" is the default ID of the media store.

<img src="/media(download:ee9411d9-925a-56d7-bfc8-2fa22b3b8175)" />

 On the published page, it will be resolved as a relative link to a static file on the website.
