Image v1

Image V1 is the earlier Image element retained for existing designs. It is hidden from the current Add panel. Use the current Image element for new content.

Edit an existing Image V1

  1. Open the document containing the older image and select it in the Structure panel.
  2. Change Content > Content > Image or the related size, alternative text, caption, and link controls.
  3. Check Design for dimensions, effects, borders, spacing, caption, and lightbox styling.
  4. Save and inspect the front end at the affected breakpoints and hover state.

For example, replace a photograph in an older landing page while retaining its established caption and image dimensions.

Replace an older image deliberately

Add a current Image element when you want to migrate the design. Recreate its media, alternative text, link, caption, and relevant styling, then compare the rendered result before removing the older instance. The two elements have different control contracts; copying their serialized properties is not a verified migration method.

Existing control reference

Responsive controls can vary by breakpoint. Hover controls have a separate hover value. The remaining settings use shared values.

Troubleshooting

Image V1 is absent from Add

This is expected for the retained older element. Use the current Image element for new images.

A replacement looks different

Compare image size, crop, object fit/position, effects, captions, links, and breakpoint values. Replacing the element identifier alone does not reproduce those settings.

The image is cropped unexpectedly

Check height, aspect ratio, object fit, zoom, and focus point together. A constrained box with Cover can crop an otherwise valid image.
