QuickStart: Adding annotated media to a page

3296

These steps will add an annotation link to a page which will cue up its related content; the placement and size of the resulting media player depends on the page's default view. To insert annotated media at a specific position in your content (more precise, but less flexible), see Adding inline annotated media to a page. Note that before adding an annotation to a page you will need to have already created the annotation in Scalar. 

  1. Sign in to your Scalar account.

  2. Click Media icon in your Scalar header bar to create a new page, or navigate to an existing page and click Media iconto edit that page.

  3. Select the text you want to link to the annotation.

  4. Click Annotation icon and select the annotation you want to link.

  5. Select from the size, alignment and caption preferences in the media reference options.  

  6. Next to "Default view," select the view you want for this page (only Basic, Image Header and Google Maps views support linked media).

  7. Click "Save."

For more details, see Adding Media and Links.
