Image Asset Template Configuration

To use an image in the application, it must first be imported into an Asset Container. This rule applies to all assets you import into Contentful. The container is then placed inside an Image Asset Template, which is nested within a Focal Point Image Template.

The template nesting looks like this: Focal Point Image Template ---> Image Asset Template --> Asset Container

Image Asset Template: Contains fields for Title, Description, and File.

You can also live preview and publish the image template from this screen. Images must be published in both the Image Template and the Focal Point Image Template to appear in the app.
