Images
Centralize all your visual assets in one place with the Nodinite Image Library. Upload images once and reference them anywhere—in Knowledge Base Articles, entity descriptions, and Custom Metadata fields—without ever duplicating a file.
✅ Upload once, reference everywhere—no more copying the same image to multiple articles
✅ Browse and search all images by name, title, description, and tags
✅ Control image display size at insertion time with built-in size modifiers
✅ Store accessible alt text alongside every image for screen reader compliance
✅ Copy stable name-based references that work identically in Test and Production
Get started: Add or manage Article — see the Insert Images from the Image Library section.
This diagram shows how the Image Library connects to Articles, Custom Metadata, and other Repository Model entities in Nodinite.
What is the Image Library?
The Image Library is a centralized repository for managing raster and vector images used throughout Nodinite documentation. Before the Image Library, images could only be embedded in articles by uploading individually from file or pasting from clipboard—each storing a separate copy with no searchable gallery, no shared metadata, and no cross-article reuse.
The Image Library solves this by providing:
- A single, searchable gallery — browse all uploaded images by name, title, description, or tag
- Stable name-based references — images are referenced by their unique name slug (e.g.,
logogoeshere), which works identically across Test and Production environments - Rich metadata — every image carries a Title, Alt Text for accessibility, Description, and Tags
- Size control — choose display size at insertion time without modifying the original file
- Shared usage — the same image appears in multiple articles without duplication

Key Features
Upload and Organize
Upload any image (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG) up to 10 MB. Nodinite automatically detects image dimensions on upload. Organize images with free-form tags and descriptions to make them easy to find across your documentation team.
Search and Filter
Find images instantly by searching across name, title, description, and alt text. Use the tag filter to narrow results to specific projects, systems, or teams.
Copy Reference
Every image in the library has a name-based reference. Click Copy Reference to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it directly into any article or HTML content for quick manual insertion.
Size Modifiers
Control how an image appears at each insertion point without editing the original file. Choose from eight size options:
| Size | Max Width | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Original | Full width | Full-width architecture diagrams |
| xxs | 64 px | Tiny icon-like inline images |
| xs | 128 px | Small inline thumbnails |
| s | 256 px | Small illustrations |
| m | 384 px | Medium screenshots and illustrations |
| l | 512 px | Standard documentation screenshots |
| xl | 768 px | Large diagrams |
| xxl | 1024 px | Extra-large architecture diagrams |
Accessibility
Alt text is stored with each image in the library and applied automatically whenever the image is inserted. This ensures screen reader accessibility without requiring writers to re-enter alt text for every use.
Where Can I Use Images?
Images from the library can be embedded in:
- Knowledge Base Articles — inserted via the editor toolbar or by pasting a reference token directly into Markdown or HTML content
- Custom Metadata Image fields — a dedicated Image field type references the library, enabling images on any repository entity such as Integrations, Systems, Services, and more
Use Cases
Documentation Screenshots
Upload a single screenshot of your SAP system configuration once. Reference it in the system overview article, the installation guide, and the troubleshooting guide—all pointing to the same image. Updating the screenshot requires a single re-upload under the same name.
Brand Assets
Store product logos and brand assets centrally. Technical writers, operations staff, and administrators all draw from the same approved image, ensuring consistency across all knowledge base content.
Team- and System-Tagged Image Libraries
Tag images by system (sap, biztalk, azure) or team (integration-team, platform-ops) to create filtered galleries for each area. Team members find only the images relevant to their work without browsing an unfiltered global collection.
