A Content Overview content element shows a list of items from the Content Repository. You can add any content item available on your entire website to the Content Overview.

...

2. Click [Insert] at the top of the Editor.
3. Select "Download" if it is visible in the short list or click "More..." at the bottom of the Context menu to show all the content elements.

A Dynamic Content Overview element displays a list of items from the Content Repository. You can specify which items to show based on type, one or more tags, as well according to publication date or items that are a specified number of days old. The overview is dynamic, which means that over time what it shows changes as new items are added to the Content Repository that match the criteria or items disappear as a result of their publication date falling outside the specified range. A Dynamic Overview is an ideal way to display relevant content like articles.

To add a Dynamic Content Overview element, follow these steps:

...

1. Enter Edit mode for the content item.
2. Click [Insert] at the top of the Editor.
3. Select "Image" from the top of the Context menu.
4. You have two options for adding the image: you can either drag and drop an image from File Explorer directly onto the canvas of the Image element or you can click [Select from Repository] to select the image from the Content Repository.

   Property	Description
   Alternative Text	The text to show if the image cannot be displayed.
   Use as Caption	Select this option if you want to use the "Alternative Text" as a caption for the image.
   Position	Specifies the position on the content item where the image will be displayed. The options are: Centered — The image is centered on the content item (no wraparound).

Other content elements or rich text, if present, wrap around the image. Clear — The image appears standalone between other content elements or rich text, if present.
   Link Code	Assigns a link code to the image. The website visitor will navigate to the URL specified by the link code if they click the image.
