The images side panel and drag-and-drop

Lumos offers a major productivity trick for report writing: display the photo gallery as a side panel on the right of the editor, and drag-and-drop photos directly into active narratives.

Enable the panel

In the editor’s header, click the images icon (titled Photo Gallery). The gallery opens as a column on the right side of the workspace, next to the subsection you are editing. Click again to close the panel.

Drag-and-drop

With the panel open, you can select a photo and drag-and-drop it onto an active narrative in the central zone. The photo attaches to the narrative without going through an attachment menu.

Useful for two scenarios:

• Working on a subsection with multiple narratives — you keep photos visible and distribute them visually between narratives.
• Documenting a multi-angle issue — you drag several photos of the same observation into a single narrative without breaking flow.

Available on desktop and large tablet

The side panel needs horizontal space. It is available:

• On Lumos Web (desktop) — always.
• On large tablet in landscape mode — when the screen is above the desktop breakpoint.
• On phone and small tablet in portrait — no, space is insufficient. The gallery remains accessible in full screen via the sidebar.

See photos already used

Enable the “usage indicator” visual option in the gallery to add a green check and green frame around photos already attached to a narrative. You quickly spot photos not yet exploited.
