The thumbnail displayed throughout the platform, such as the Entries view in the Manage workspace, a gallery, a voting page, etc. will always be the first image attachment uploaded within an entry. If attachments are uploaded exclusively within an attachments-type tab, the first image attached will become the thumbnail. If attachments are uploaded throughout the entry form, the files located within the attachments tab will take precedence.
Important: images larger than 16300px square cannot be displayed as a thumbnail.
Changing the thumbnail image
If a particular image should be displayed as the thumbnail, follow the steps below.
For entrants
- In the Enter workspace, navigate to Entries
- Click your entry name to open it
- Locate the attachments-type tab (generally titled 'Attachments' or 'Supporting materials')
- Click the small arrows next to the attachment number to move the proper image into the first location
- Click Save + next to proceed to the next tab, Save + close to exit the entry editing area, or Submit entry to complete your submission
Important: an entry round must be open in order for an entrant to adjust their attachment order.
For program managers
- From the Manage workspace, navigate to Entries
- Locate the correct entry and click the entry's title or ID
- Click Edit near the top of the page
- Locate the attachments-type tab
- Click the small arrows next to the attachment number to move the proper image into the first location
- Save + close
Tip: thumbnails can only be generated from images. Other document types will not be displayed. If there are no image attachments in the entry, no image will be displayed.
