Add media and activities

Images, video and interactive activities are inserted the same way — pick the spot, then choose what goes there.

Before you start. A page open in the editor.
  1. Click where it should go

    The insert point is wherever the cursor is.

  2. Open Insert in the toolbar

    Images, video, audio and activities all live under Insert.

  3. Search rather than upload, when you can

    The image and video pickers search the web from inside PageDuo, so you do not have to find a file first. Your own uploads work too.

  4. Look at it in Preview

    Preview drops the editing chrome and shows the page the way a reader gets it. Selection outlines and insert points can flatter a layout that reads worse without them.

  5. Showing it to a class? Press Present

    Present gives the page the whole screen, with nothing of the app around it.

You'll know it worked. The media sits in the page and stays there when you reload.

Works on any page, generated or written by hand.
