Adding an image

Adding multimedia
You must only embed multimedia content that is accessible. Make sure you add captions to videos and provide transcripts of audio files so that everyone has access to the same content.

Working in the template
The Focus component is a fixed-position component, so you can't move it to another part of the page.
Click 'Collapse this section' to hide the Focus component while you work on other areas of the page. The content will still appear on the preview and published pages if you collapse part of the template.
