Insert an item into the active document

Use the following procedures to insert an item such as an audio clip, video clip, image file, or 3D object (WPF only). For information about adding a control from the Toolbox or a styled control from the Asset Library or Resources panel, see Add or modify an object.

To insert an item into the active document

  • Do one of the following:

    • Under Files in the Projects panel, right-click the item, and then click Insert. Typically, the item is inserted into the top-left corner of the document.

    • From under Files in the Projects panel, drag the item onto the artboard at the location where you want it to display.

    • From Windows Explorer or the Desktop, drag the item onto the artboard at the location where you want it to display. A copy of the item will be added under Files in the Project panel.

    Note

    To add an item as a child element within another element in a document, such as a layout panel, double-click the parent element under Objects and Timeline in the Interaction panel to make it the active element, and then insert the item.
