Image
  • Upload Image: Upload an image from your computer to Salesforce Files. Images uploaded to Salesforce Files don't always render correctly on Experience Cloud sites.
  • Add Image from Static Resources: When you add an image from static resources, perform one of the these tasks:
    • Upload an image as a static resource from within Display Text.
      • Enter a name and select the cache control settings. The static resource image name must start with a letter and contain only alphanumeric characters and non-consecutive underscores. The name must not include any spaces.
      • If the uploaded image is informative, add alternate text.
    • Search for and select an existing static resource image. If the selected image is informative, add alternate text.

    Static resource images are packageable and render correctly on Experience Cloud sites.

Alt Text Add alternative text for informational images. To add alt text for informational images, select a single image from the screen properties editor of the Display Text Component component and enter alternate text. Skip the alternative text if the image is decorative.
Paragraph style

Use header styles Header 1 through Header 6 for headings. Use the Normal style for body text. Paragraph styles apply semantic HTML to text that screen readers can use to interpret the content structure accurately.

To apply a paragraph style to a word or phrase, place your cursor on the word or select the phrase, and then select a style.
Remove formatting Remove formatting from the selected text.
## Set the Component Visibility Specify the logic that determines when the flow displays the component.

When any condition is met (OR)

Formatting such as applying bold adds characters that count toward the limit. If the text exceeds the character limit, the Display Text component isn't reactive. - Static resource image names must be 80 characters or fewer, including the namespace prefix. - Static resource images uploaded from the Display Text component can be up to 2.5 MB. - To search static resource images from the Display Text component, you need the View Setup and Configuration user permission. To upload static resource images from the Display Text component, you need the Customize Application user permission. #### See Also - [Standard Flow Screen Components](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_ref_elements_screencmp.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Salesforce provides several standard screen components that extend the types of input fields available in screens.")
