Add an image representation

Some export formats can't display the HTML for a step. You can click on the Image tab and add an image that will be used for these export formats.

The image will always be used when exporting to Word. The image will be used for HTML that isn't support by PDF (e.g. iframes and embedded video).

@Josephine - As long as Vimeo makes embed code available for your video then you can. Clarify is just inserting the HTML you add to the field in the exported document.
