Adding images

If you’d like to add an image from the article you’ve selected to your newsletter, click the “+ Add Content” button on the relevant section, then click “Image.” That will open the right-hand navigation and display fields for populating image attribution and alt text (pictured below).

Here you will see image options (similar to those that exist in our IMAGE and VID tools). You can include a stock image, generate an AI image, leverage a linked image or upload an image from your hard drive. You have the option to add text for image attribution and alt text. 

Section options

By clicking on the diamond icon next to the category title for that respective section, you can choose to have Nota regenerate the headline and copy for that entire section, change the tone for that section or remove that section entirely (pictured below).

If you’d like to regenerate the copy or change the length of the summary, you can do so through the diamond icon next to the summary output (pictured below). Simply hover over the copy, click the diamond icon and you can either regenerate the summary or adjust to one or two sentences (remember this is completely editable!).
