I have installed a local Galaxy instance and am trying to create a tutorial page. How can I add a picture to the page? When I take a screenshot and paste it, nothing happens.

Hello @amufaamo

Are you trying to create a tutorial? The GTN hosts a guide series here → Contributing to the Galaxy Training Material / Tutorial List

Or, are you trying to create a Data → Page?

How this works is a bit strange, but will get better soon with the release next month. In short, save, exit, then go back into the Page view if the screen freezes a bit. What you saved will (hopefully!) be there and ready for the next step. Maybe save work in smaller change sets to avoid losing anything important?

How to

  1. Start up a new history to store your images in
  2. Convert your image to a simple format with a very small size. I used .png
  3. Load that .png into the history (Upload tool)
  4. Go to your page
  5. Use the Image option in the left menu
  6. Select your “png” file as the dataset
  7. Save your page
  8. Click back into the User → Page area, and choose view to see how it looks

I’m not sure how well this will work on a local instance, but this does work Ok at UseGalaxy.org, and probably the other UseGalaxy servers.

However – if you are creating a tutorial, I would really encourage you to consider following the GTN methods instead. The GTN is easier for instructors to update, and easier for students to get oriented in and then to use. Maybe review and see what other external instructors have contributed? This tutorial model could work for just about anything, it wouldn’t even really need to be Galaxy.

Keep in mind that you could even host your own branch of the GTN if you need to keep something private for now, and are not ready to publish it yet. But if you do have an eye toward publishing, the GTN artifacts have full attribution, and a community full of other scientists who will help you to get it in front of students. :scientist:

Hope this helps with some ideas! I am lobbing a bit so please do what you want :slight_smile:
