Steps to fix/Workaround
Scenario 1 - creating a page from scratch with a swappable area.
- If you are in the process of making the template with a region you want to pre-designate swappable the key is in the naming of the file. Your image needs to have "_placeholder" at the end of the file name. This is something you will want to do prior to using the image in your template. You can do this afterward but make sure to save and test.
- This is fine, you can still toggle a graphic even if you have a template exported and being used in the live panel. What you will need to do is go into the Titles bin and click on the GEAR for the template in question. Now once the panel is open hold SHIFT and LEFT-CLICK on the image you want to have swappable. A yellow border will now appear when you hover over the graphic. If you click on the image now it should open a filebin so you can select an image.
