    Tip Notice the three dots next to Media and Deep link. This indicates that the selected cell has been configured with images and a deep link.![The layout, editor showing two category tiles with the toolbox and three dots displayed against media and deep link options](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-commerce-retail-264-0-0-production-enus/17d647fb-8988-49fb-9add-c4f4cc79c9e4/retail/images/rt_cms_layouts_manage_category_step5.png)

2. Select a different category image.
3. Click **SELECT DEEP LINK**.
