Insert images in line in text

There seems to be no way to insert an image in line in text in Rise like this: Click the search  icon. Or am I missing something?

Hi there, Natasha.  Image files can be added only where media is supported in Rise. 

For your text elements, you can try searching the unicode for a character that matches what you need.  As an example, I searched for "magnifying" here:

...and I was able to insert a common magnifying glass "search" icon into my Rise text:

 

If you need to use specific imagery from a process you're teaching your learners, try a few labeled graphic blocks!

    Hi Crystal.  I have the relevant unicode - how do I add it to the text?

      Hey there, Sarah. These are the most universal steps for entering unicode on a Windows machine:

      1. Press and hold down the Alt key.
      2. Press the + (plus) key on the numeric keypad.
      3. Type the unicode value.
      4. Release the Alt key.

      For Macs, you can use the option key in combination with other letters for special characters.
