In the media selector, choose Image, and click on Add Image to upload it. Crop the image to your needs and select the Crop button.
Video and/or Audio Files -
Type in the name of your content in the “Content X” field - note that this is required even if the content items are desired to be displayed without the text (image only), the Name of each content item must still be input in order for the Gallery to be saved.
