You can change the size of your image by using the (-) or (+) options. You can also change where your image appears in relationship to the copy on the page by using the layout icons. When you're satisfied with the size and layout of your image, click on the "Done" button in the toolbar.

Click the save button on the "EasyEdit Toolbar" to save the page changes. You can add an edit note, or just click the "Skip edit note" button.
