How to add images to a collaborative that can be used in emails

When sending a volunteer invitation email, you have the option of changing the banner image that accompanies it. In order to select a new image, you must first add the image to the event organizer's image library.

You may wonder: why can't I simply choose to upload an image as part of the email creation process? Why do I need to go through the extra step of first adding the image to the organizer's "image library". Great question! Images take up an incredible amount of space. Volunteer.legal is a free application, made by 100% volunteer effort. I've personally fronted all of the costs associated with it. In order to keep costs down, I've intentionally made it slightly cumbersome to upload images, to discourage you from adding images and encourage you to re-use existing images. Additionally, I've limited the image library of each collaborative to 25 images. Once you upload 25 images, you'll need to remove / replace old images before you can add additional ones.

In order to add images to a collaborative's image library and use them in emails, follow these steps:
 * 1) Navigate to the "Settings" tab in the left hand menu.
 * 2) Navigate to the "Collaboratives" submenu tab in under the "Settings" tab in the left hand menu.
 * 3) Select the collaborative you wish to add an organization to.
 * 4) Navigate to the "Image Library" page of the collaborative by clicking the "Image Library" button in the bottom toolbar.
 * 5) Note, you must have joined the collaborative in order to see the "Image Library" button. If you don't see the button, click "Join Collaborative."
 * 6) On the image library page of the collaborative, click the "Add Image" button in the bottom toolbar.
 * 7) Fill out the form on the add image page
 * 8) Select the image file on your computer
 * 9) Name the image to identify it to yourself and other staff members
 * 10) Add a description for the image (optional). One good thing to add here might be any photo credit (i.e. the photographer) and where the photo was taken, etc.
 * 11) When finished, click the "Save" button.
