Adding an image or icon to your summary
You can add an image or icon to your summary that will be displayed on both your Home Page (along with the Tablet title and summary) and above the main content area of your Tablet. Summary images help give your Home Page some personality as well as give visitors a quick visual clue into the contents of the Tablet.

Tip: Summary images should be kept small, we recommend no larger than 120 x 120 pixels at 72dpi.

Add images to your summary by clicking on the "summary icon" on any Tablet.
