There are two types of editable regions: Text Editable Regions and Image Editable Regions.

 

Text Editable Regions

In a Text Editable Region (which may contain images), you can

    Add an image by clicking the Insert Image button in the HTML Editor toolbar.

4. To resize an image, click the image twice, and then drag one of the resize handles located along its border.

5. When you are finished, click OK.
