Published Capable Sites

Images you add with the Image reference macro publish with your site. The file is copied into the site, and its alignment, caption, corner radius, shadow and border carry across. Width, height and aspect ratio do not.

Image reference macro content settings showing image, width, height, aspect ratio, alignment and caption options
On the Content tab, alignment and caption carry across to a published site. Width, height and aspect ratio do not.

The Image folder gallery shows an explanatory note on a published site, and the Image library placeholder shows nothing. Any Capable image link elsewhere on a published page, such as inside another macro's image field, is picked up and copied too, so it works on private sites as well. Raster images are converted to .webp so your pages load quickly.

Attached images sweep. Accepted file extensi

AVIF, HEIC, ICO and JFIF attachments are left out. So are images in the Capable Asset Store space, generated thumbnails and Capable's own library images.


#Worth knowing

  • A migration dry run reports 'no node' for spaces that have never held a Capable image. That is expected, because nothing is created during a dry run. The real migration creates it.
