Add and position hotspots

Last updated: September 8, 2026 · 1 min read

Attach content or links to specific points on an image.

Multiple hotspots on an image differ from a standalone interactive marker. A standalone marker carries one interaction point.

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Create a marker

    PropertiesHotspot labels

    Select an image and use Add Label in Hotspot labels. A new marker starts in the center. For a standalone marker, use an Elements > Interaction preset.

  2. 2

    Position the point

    PropertiesHotspot labels

    Set X and Y positions as percentages to align the marker with its subject. After reframing or resizing the image, check that the point still indicates the intended detail.

  3. 3

    Style the marker

    PropertiesHotspot labels

    Choose size, color, circle/square style, icon, and pulse animation. Enter a title and short description. Choosing an icon does not configure its associated content.

  4. 4

    Attach content and tooltip

    PropertiesContent type

    Select a content type and fill in its fields. The optional tooltip label is a short hint; toggle its visibility after entering text. The opened card’s title and content are configured separately.

  5. 5

    Check removal and accessibility

    PropertiesSource image

    Remove unwanted markers without deleting the source image. In accessible authoring, describe the source and meaningful images opened by its markers. Test opening and closing each marker in preview.
