Replace an Existing Image

If you need to replace an existing image in Plone 5, you will need to select the appropriate image and click the word 'Edit' that is in the left hand side editing bar, OR click the word 'Contents' in the left hand side edit bar and use the 'actions' edit option for the appropriate image.

Replace an Existing Image Sometimes an image needs to be replaced with a new image, rather than adding a new image.

Replacing an image is useful if an image is displayed in several different areas. By replacing the image, the new image is displayed in all locations. Also, if the image is only used in one location, and it is no longer required, the replace option is again the best option. Replace Image rather than adding a new image each time eliminates defunct images cluttering up your site.

In Plone5 the edit bar is displayed on the left side of your website.Click on the word 'Contents' at the top to get a list of all the items inside the current folder.

When you are in edit mode for an existing image, the current image is displayed followed by the short name and file size.

If you change your mind or cannot find the correct image, click the 'Cancel' button to ensure there are no changes made.

If you want to change the image, 'tick' - 'Replace with new image'.

The 'Browse' button will become available for selection at this point. Use the 'Browse' button to find and select your new image.

When you are happy that you have selected the correct replacement image, click the 'Save' button.
