Toolbar Functions

When you click into any field on the question page, an editing toolbar will appear.

In addition to all of the standard icons such as bold, bullets, alignment, and font, this toolbar includes icons that will allow you to add:

• Images
• Tables
• Equations and symbols
• Add a file
• Add a link
• Video, audio, and text files
• Dynamic content
• iFrames

If you hover over any of the icons, its label will appear. 

Images

Amplifire supports JPG, PNG, GIF, and animated GIF image files. 

You can add images to any field in authoring.

1. Click the Image icon to browse or upload images using the the Resources menu. 
   
   

   

   • The Resources menu is used to sort and search for images that have already been uploaded in your account.

     

2. Click + Upload Resources to add images to the Resource Library. You can either drag files into the window or browse to your computer to upload. And you can upload multiple files at once. 
   
   

   

3. Once you've uploaded your image, it will appear at the top of the list. Click on the image to open the side panel. In the side panel, you can see the name of the image, who uploaded it, where it is used, and its alt text. Click Select to add the image to your question.

 

Revising Images

Once you've added your images, you can use the inline tools to edit them. Here are a few of the tools available:

Image alignment	Your alignment choices are: In line Left align Center align Right align
Alt text	Click the alt text button to add or edit the image's alt text to comply with disability requirements.
Enable Lightbox	The Lightbox feature is enabled by default on any image you upload, but if you'd like to disable it (or if you do it accidentally by clicking Unlink--we've all been there!), you can click on the image and click Add Lightbox. This feature is really useful for information-heavy images in the Question Stem and Explanation fields.
Link image	Images can serve as links to other resources. Do this by turning off the lightbox and then clicking the Link Image icon and add the hyperlink address. Remember to leave the Displayed text blank.
Toggle caption on	Clicking the Caption icon adds a small box below the image where you can add a caption. In Learning, the caption shows in a gray box below the image.

Tables

To insert a table, click the Table icon on the toolbar to reveal the table size grid.

From here, click on your table to reveal the table tools.

Toggle caption on	Just like with images, clicking the Caption icon adds a small box below the table where you can add a caption. In Learning, the caption shows in a gray box below the image.

Equations and Symbols

Click the omega symbol to expand the symbols menu. Select a symbol and it will automatically populate the question field you are editing. 

Open the math and equation editor by clicking the sum symbol. Our math editor uses TeX documentation. If you're unfamiliar with TeX, go here to learn more. 

For example, here is how you would input the quadratic equation:

Add a File

To add a file, click the Add File icon. 

From there, you'll be asked to upload a resource.

Links

If you want to link to a website or file already in your Resources, use the link function.

The Link menu has three sections:

1. Displayed text: This is the text you want to turn into the link. This should only be blank if you're linking to an image.
2. Link URL: If you're linking to a website, this is all you need to add.
3. Browse Library: If you have a file already in your Resources that you want to link to, click this and find the file in your Resources.

Video and Audio Files

Dynamic Content

To add dynamic content, you'll use either the dynamic content button or the H5P button, depending on the source of the interactive material you want to upload.

iFrames

To add content with iFrames, click Insert HTML.

Then, copy and paste your source code into the field.

The content will then populate into the panel you're currently editing.
