Insert from Media Library into Picture Placeholder

I have a template that includes picture placeholders on the slides that will contain images.

I have imported into the Media Library the images I want to use.

Now I want to insert those images into the appropriate placeholders but I cannot figure out how to do that.  The only options I see in the placeholders are "Insert Picture from File" or "Insert Content Library 360 Photo."

When I go to Insert > Media Library then Insert Image, it drops the image on top of the place holder.

Is there a way to do this?

    Hello Everyone! 

    I'm happy to share that we have released a new update for Storyline 360 (Build 3.89.32618.0)

    In this update, we have an enhancement where:

    • The image placeholder on slide and feedback layouts now lets you insert an image from the media library.

    As a first step, I recommend updating Storyline 360 to the latest version. Here's how:

    If you have any questions, please let us know in this thread or privately in a support case.

    Have a great day!

    Hi Leslie,

    Thanks for reaching out! To answer your question:

    Can I insert an image from the Media Library into an image placeholder on my slide?

    While you can insert an image using the Image file or Content Library options, we don't yet have the option to insert from the Media Library.

    I'll bring this back up to my team as well as add your plus one to the feature request we have.

    We REALLY need this feature to work properly. I was going to report this as a bug, as it most certainly fits the bill. The tools are there, but the programming isn't. 

    Could we get an update, please.

    I googled this same question and arrived here.

    Any update on this 2 year old question for a feature that should have been here since beta?

    adding a request for this feature to this 3 year old question! This makes image placeholders a completely moot option in master slides.

    Hi John!  It sounds like you're wanting to replace the images in your course with images that you've imported from the Media Library, which you absolutely can do.  Instructions to replace all instances of an asset are here, and I've also recorded a quick Peek to show you how to replace a single asset if you are doing them one by one as I was!

    Hi John,

    Ah, thanks for the additional details. I see what you're describing, that once you've set up an Image placeholder on the slide master the only options there are to add in from Content Library or an Image file. I'm going to share this with the team to see about adding an option for Media Library there.

    +1 for us, too, please.  This would really be a great feature.   Thank you.
