Adding Figures

Follow these steps to upload and insert a figure directly into your article:

1. Place your cursor where you wish to insert the figure and click the Insert Figure button in the toolbar.
2. Upload your image file.
3. Enter a title in the title field.
4. If desired, enter a legend in the legend field.
5. If desired, add alternative text, or alt text. Alt text is a short written description of an image that's read aloud by screen readers (used by people who are blind or have low vision) and is also displayed if the image fails to load. If this field is left blank, alt text will be generated for you.
6. Click the Next button and confirm that you have formatted your figure to meet all listed requirements.
7. Click the Insert button to insert the figure into your article.
