Cannot upload an image while editing a library template — 'Cannot upload images to a template'

What you are seeing

I cannot upload an image while editing a library template. 'Cannot upload images to a template'.


#Why it happens

Uploads become page attachments, and a library template does not belong to a page, so there is nothing to attach the image to.


#What to do

Insert the image from the Capable Images library (Suite), or reference an external URL.

What it does

Permissions

Global settings

Controls who can edit the Global library, and so who can create Global markdown templates. The same permission covers diagrams, images, calendar and search.

Egress domains

Global settings

Domains your admins have approved load directly in the reader’s browser instead of going through Capable. That also lets their images load without a Capable sign-in.


#Limits that apply here

What happens

Image load timeout

15 seconds

An image inside markdown that has not loaded after 15 seconds is replaced with “[Image load timed out: …]”.
