Assets are useful to store images locally, instead of hosting them online and requiring an internet connection, especially because this app stores everything locally. This solution works for images that should be only visible to your system. Creating and using assets in Ampersand is done in two simple steps:
1.
Upload your asset, then name it something easy to write, for example we'll use "Mini-Wawa".
2.
The asset then can be used in any Markdown-supported fields, such as member descriptions and custom fields. To add an asset to one of these fields, you'll simple need to write ![](@name) where you replace name by the actual name you gave it. In our example, it'll be ![](@Mini-Wawa).
3.
Your asset should then be displayed in the final result! Note that the @ is used to indicate the usage of an asset, compared to using a link.
You can also add alt text between the [] brackets in case your image doesn't load, or for screen readers to read them.
