Asset Library Question

Hello, community! I have uploaded some artwork to my Library, but I can't figure out how to add those images to handouts. If I try to drag them to the handout, they just drop on the game board as a token. If I click "choose file" it makes me select from my computer files. I've uploaded 20 something images and now it seems like I'm going to have to upload them all again individually into handouts. Am I missing something or is there no way to add images from your library to a handout? Thanks!
Be sure you are using Chrome or Firefox. Be sure the handout is in Edit mode. Be sure that your handouts are not popped out into a separate browser window.

The handout is in edit mode. The handout is not popped out. There's no way to drag the file from my asset library to the handout. When I drag it won't even go "on top" of the handout. It goes straight to the game board.

It takes some finesse but usually if you grab the art by it's name, not the 3 horizontal bars, and drag it over to the handouts image area you it should cause the location to go grey and you can drop it and save the handout out. If this is not happening, you might need to check and disable any extensions you have running as they might be interfering.

Also worth verifying: You are dragging to the image drop area, not the handout body, correct? The handout body does not normally take images.

The bars are for reorganizing the art in the tab. That allows you to move it into folders, change their position in their order. Dragging by name only works for moving it to handouts and on to the map. Two different methods and they can get confusing.

Don't worry. It took me playing around with it when it first came out to realize how it worked. I don't remember if anything in the help pages having it clearly mentioned so you not knowing about it is ok, When you have a question or need help, just post and someone will try to help you. Just be as clear as possible when you post so that people will understand your question or issue as best they can.
