Use the image field to upload images in dynamic designs and template pages.
The Image field. To say it's life-changing in the context of CMS is hyperbole. But not really. Here's why:
You might be thinking to yourself, "isn't this just a field that lets someone upload an Image? And to make it work, don't I choose an element and pull that Image to set it as a background Image?" Well, yes. That is one potential and frankly amazing use of the Image field.
But what about here? Fairly good-looking blog previews [Collection List]. Great content, meaningful words . The top div block here has a nice heading. Let's select that div and head over to the Element Settings Panel. And right here, we have access to this wonderful little checkbox: Get background Image. Bind it to the Image field? Now our div block is using those Images from our collection in the background.
But we can also bind directly to an Image element. Like a profile picture. Or an icon.
So the Image field can be used to bring in an Image for use in an Image element, like a profile picture or an icon, and we can use them as background Images just like we'd manually configure background Images on static content.
The image field is a Collection field that allows you and your collaborators to upload an image for your Collection items and use it in your designs. Collection images can be used as a regular image element or a background image within Collection Pages and Collection Lists.
You can also use the image field to filter a Collection List or set conditional visibility on elements in Collection Lists and pages. Here are some common uses for the image field:
An image field can be added to a new or existing Collection. In Collection settings, click New Field and then choose the Image field.
And as with any field, you can specify if the field is required or not.
To add images in the CMS, drag and drop an image or click to upload one. You can upload any accepted image file type.
In any Collection List or Collection Page, you can connect an image field to various elements or styles to bring your Collection images into your designs.
You can also access the image settings by selecting the element and either clicking the settings icon next to the element label on the canvas, or by going to the Settings panel (D).
You can remove the connection by unchecking the Get image from checkbox under Image Properties.
To set a dynamic alt text to these images:
You can set Collection images as the background of an element like a section or a div block to create, for example, blog thumbnail images or hero background images. To set a dynamic background image:
When connecting an image field to a background image, the default background image settings are applied. To override those settings:
Any other background styling like a gradient or a solid color set on this element will reset the dynamic background image positioning.
You can remove the connection by unchecking the Get BG image from checkbox under Collection Style Settings.
In some cases, you may choose to have a Collection List that only displays Collection items with a specific image field set. For example, you might want to show only items that have a thumbnail image set. To do that:
The filter rules that you can use with the images field are:

In the same way, you can set a conditional visibility rule on an image element in your Collection List or Page. This will ensure that image elements will be visible only when an image is uploaded for a given Collection item.
