There is no limit to the number of sections that can be added, but it is recommended to keep them to a manageable list. Once created, the sections can be removed one by one or can be reordered by dragging the section to the desired location.
Adding an image
Modern Drupal has modified the process of uploading an image. One of the improvements and new features available to us is the ability to choose an existing image instead of re-uploading and duplicating one that could already exist in the system. The first thing to note is that Drupal now refers to it as “Media”. It is called media because in some cases, it can be an image, a video, a document, etc.
If you choose a “Build your page” section that contains an image, first click “Add Media”
...
Next, there will be a pop up with some new options that are available to you. You can now choose a file if you know this is a completely new file to the system.
If you click “Choose File”, it will open your computer’s file browser and you will choose the image needed.

Attention: Before uploading, please name the image using text that describes the image. For example, if it is jpg image of Abraham Lincoln, rename the image to “Abraham Lincoln Portrait.jpg”. Spaces are ok here. The reasoning behind this is the file name is used as the search term. So, in the future when you need to use this picture again, you can simply search “Abraham Lincoln Portrait” and you will find it in the list instead of having to upload an image again. |

If you uploaded an image, you have a new prompt for the image’s alternative text. This is very important for screen readers, search engine optimization, and accessibility. The alt text is meant to describe the image to someone that cannot see it as well as search engines. Do not add the word “image” or “picture” because that is redundant. It is already known that this is a picture. Simply describe the details of the image and what is in it. Then click “Save”.
...
Once saved, you will see that the image you uploaded is automatically selected in the list of images below. You are now ready to click “Insert Selected” and the image will be chosen for that section.
Like in the example below, you might want to use an existing image. To do this, you can simply search for it and click “Apply Filters”. Once you find the image you would like to use, select it (shown as the blue checkmark) and click “Insert Selected”. If possible, always search for an image first. There is a good chance it could already be in the system and will save you from having to upload it again.
