Add an image using the editing toolbar

Editors can add images to any activity, resource, block or section within Moodle which has an editable content box (accessed using the edit option and identified by the presence of the atto editing toolbar).
Non-editing staff and students can add images to content boxes within specific activity types e.g. when adding a forum post, adding or editing a wiki entry, or adding a new record to a database.
