Insert

Introduction

The Insert tab displays all the options for you to add content. You can add new text boxes, images, or input files from your Google Drive. You can also modify the layout of each page.

Insert text box

1. Select the Insert tab > Text box.
2. The text will now appear on the page for you to modify.
3. Drag the text to place it where you want it on the page

Text box options

Options for how to modify your text will depend on which label you give it: normal text (default), title, heading, subheading, small. Once you select a label, you will be able to see options to align, bolden, italicize, bullet-point, hyperlink, etc.

Hyperlink

Hyperlinking will only work if your text is labeled Normal text.

1. Highlight or select text on your page.
2. Select the chain link icon that appears above the text.
3. Insert the url or select a page from your website to link to in the dropdown.

Rearrange items

Any time you insert something new (text, images, from your Drive), the default is that it will appear on the bottom of your web page. You can drag it up and down the page by moving your mouse over it until you see the 10 dots appear on the left side or top of the item. Hold on to the dots and drag the item to where you want.

Insert images

1. Select an item on the page that you want the image to go under.
2. Select the Insert tab > Images.
3. Choose to Upload from your computer or Select from your Google Drive or other source.
4. The image will now appear on the page.
5. Click on the image corners to resize it. Guidelines will appear to help you resize it.

Insert embed

The Embed tool essentially embeds a webpage into your webpage. I discourage you from doing this because this tool is still clunky, and it will clutter your web pages. Instead, use a hyperlink.

Conclusion

All other items are either a different way to do the same thing or they involve similar steps. Just try to insert a few various objects to see what it looks like. You can always delete mistakes by clicking on them and pressing the trash icon ;).
