You can add images, documents, and videos to your content directly from the WYSIWYG editor. The media browser allows you to select a file that has already been uploaded to your site, or you can upload a new one.

This article is about how to add an image - for general guidance on content editing tools see: 

An introduction to Sector content editing tools, or the Introduction to the WYSIWYG editor
