Configuring a Basic Page Hero Image
Visual interest can be added to Basic Pages with the use of the Hero Image feature.
Basic Pages contain a feature that allows content managers to add a hero photo to the top of the page. This is a great tool for use on high-level pages that may not need the complexity of a Landing Page.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Example of a finished Basic Page Hero Image area.
- On a Basic Page, click on the "Hero Image" tab.

- In order to upload an image, you must agree that you have permission to upload the photo. Check Image Rights to confirm. (And if you don't have permission, please either get permission to use the image or select a different image to use.)
- Click Select.
