Image wells

An image well is an editable version of an image view.

After selecting an image well, people can copy and paste its image or delete it. People can also drag a new image into an image well without selecting it first.

Best practices

Revert to a default image when necessary. If your image well requires an image, display the default image again if people clear the content of the image well.

If your image well supports copy and paste, enable the standard copy and paste menu items. People generally expect to choose these menu items — or use the standard keyboard shortcuts — to interact with an image well. For guidance, see Edit menu.
