The image should now appear in the description editor.

Adding a category

These categories help users to find resources:

• Type: provide relevant information on the intent of your resource – does it talk about strategy, provide guidance or is it used in training for skills and development?
• Content: capture relevant information about the media of your resource. Is it a webinar, a video clip or a presentation deck?
• Public service: give information about the original source of your resource. For example, does it come from a local government or the third sector?
• Attachments: if you need to upload your resource as a downloadable attachment
• Link: if your resource is available online
• Subject: select one or more of the post's main topic areas
• Tags: use tags to highlight other areas and topics relevant to your resource. Do not create a new tag if a relevant one exists.

You do not need to complete every field but add as many as you can.
