Edit readings and add images

Open a generated reading in the direct editor to refine wording, formatting, and media. The screenshots show the fictional Northstar onboarding course.

1. Open the reading

1. In the course editor, select Edit.
2. Open the course contents selector, then expand the unit and topic.
3. Select Read below the topic.
4. The reading opens directly for editing. Use the course-level Preview to check the presentation.

2. Refine the content

1. Place the cursor in the reading and edit the relevant passage.
2. Select text before applying heading levels, bold, italics, lists, or links from the toolbar.
3. Use Undo when correcting a recent editing mistake.
4. Check the preview after changing structure, tables, or media.

The toolbar also provides Insert Video, Insert embed, and Insert Table. Choose the content type that fits the explanation, then follow its dialog.

3. Add an image

1. Position the cursor where the image belongs.
2. Select Insert Image in the toolbar.
3. Choose Upload for a local image or From URL for an image link.
4. Follow the dialog and wait for the image to appear in the reading.
5. Verify the image and surrounding text in the course-level Preview before applying the course changes.

The upload dialog accepts PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF up to 10 MB. Use screenshots that show the relevant task without unrelated account information.

4. Adjust an existing generated image

Use Edit to request changes to an existing generated image. Use Replace to upload your own file. Inspect the result before keeping it. Edit image caption changes its caption. Use the caption to explain what learners should notice in the image.

After an edit, wait for the saved state, verify it in Preview, and use Distribute → Apply changes to learners when ready. See Edit and review a course.

If an illustration fails to load, the preview shows an unavailable state. If Regenerate is available, select it and check the replacement image.

Preview and apply

Open the course-level Preview to review the reading’s text, images, tables, and embeds together. When the lesson is ready, use Distribute → Apply changes to learners and follow Publishing and review to share the update.
