Insert Images and Videos in a Unit

When you paste content into Trailmaker Content from your draft, Trailmaker also copies images included in the draft. You can also manually insert images or modify image properties in Trailmaker Content. For a video, you can only insert a link to the video’s embed URL from an external content delivery network.
