Portal banner sections can use images and colors. You can add a single banner at the top of the portal or multiple banners between asset sections. To add images, **select Change image**, then search for and select an image, crop it, and add a Call-to-Action button. The image is placed in the banner area. Drag the image to the best position.

Select the **Edit** button (pencil icon) to open the rich text editor in a modal and edit text in the banner section. Resize the text box width using a slider range selector instead of the previous click-and-drag method.

Image specifications and file types
-----------------------------------

You can use AI, EPS, GIF, JPG, PSD, or TIFF files for images. The system does not retain GIF animation in banner images; the first frame of the **GIF** is used instead.

For the best results, use images that are **2,048 x 512 px**, with a minimum height of **256 pixels**. To ensure maximum responsiveness, ensure that there is enough space around text and buttons for smaller windows.

Adaptive mode and responsiveness
--------------------------------

**Adaptive mode** is enabled when the screen width drops below **1,024 px**. In adaptive mode, banners adjust in the following ways:

*   The banner image is **anchored on the center** (vertical and horizontal center anchor).
*   Text in the banner section **scales down**.
*   All call-to-action buttons **automatically consolidate** into a single **Actions** menu.

Placing text and buttons on the left side of the banner provides the best user experience. If you must include more than one image in a banner, first create a layered file in Photoshop, and then upload it as an asset to Acquia DAM.

Background color
----------------

Change the image at any time, or delete it if it is not needed.

To change the background color, select **Change background color**. Choose the color you want, enter a Hex or RGB value, or select one of the default options.
