Understanding embedded, attached, and uploaded images
Images attached to content or uploaded as content are handled and displayed differently than images that are inserted by using the insert image option.
Embedded images
You can embed images in some content types by clicking the Insert Image (
) icon in the content editor. Embedded images show up in the content itself. You can
embed up to 50 images.
An embedded image can display as a thumbnail if it's too big, based on the maximum height and width you specify in the image settings. To modify the way embedded images are handled, see Configuring Support for Images and Attachments.
Attached images
You can attach various kinds of files, including images, to most content types. Attached files show up as links at the bottom of published content so that others may click to view the attachment. When a user attaches an image, a preview of the image shows with its link. Previewing makes it easier for people to see whether it's the image they want before clicking its attachment link. The maximum preview size is set by default to a 25-pixel square. Attached images that are larger are made smaller to fit inside this square.
By default, you can attach up to 30 items of any file type, including images, to any piece of content, with a maximum attachment size of 51200 KB.
The settings for attachments are configured by the Jive administrator. For more information on the way embedded images are handled, including image previews, see Configuring settings for attachments.
Upload Images
You can upload images to the community by selecting . When you upload an image to a place, these images appear on the Content tab.
