How to Add Image
Hover on the left side and click the Plus button — or type the forward slash symbol: /
From the menu that appears, select Image as the content type.
Upload the image from your device (recommended).
You may also paste a direct image URL, such as one hosted on your school’s website. Keep in mind that if the original image URL changes, the image in your page will no longer display since it’s referenced — not stored — in School Signals.
How to Add an Image Alt tag
After your image is uploaded, hover over it and click the speech-bubble icon.
Enter a short caption describing the image.
This caption becomes the image ALT text, which helps screen readers describe the image to users who rely on assistive technology.
How to Move Content Up or Down
Next to your content, hover the gray side area on left. Click the "dots" button. This highlights your content block. Drag the content up or down where you want it to appear.
The video shows how image is highlighted and then dragged to a new position. Be sure to click 'Save' when you are done with edits.
