# Drag an element into a panel

Panels can hold a variety of elements with images being the most typical in that they provide the visual content of the panel. Captions and other elements become loosely associated with panels in that they will move with the panel if it is dragged, but can easily be moved in or out of the panel.

To add an image to a panel, simply drag the image over the panel and drop it when the panel interior darkens. If the panel is empty (if it has no images already) the image will be sized to fill the panel. If there is at least one other image within the panel, you'll be presented with a sheet with the following options:

- Replace image
  Switches the current image in the panel with the new image you're dropping on the panel.
- Add image
  Adds the image you're dropping on the panel—the image is reduced to a size smaller than the panel so you can see some of the other images behind the newly added image.
- Cancel
  Stops the image from being added the panel. If the image is already part of the comic, it is added back to the page (so you don't lose it!).

- Clipping

  Choose Arrange > Clip (from the Arrange menu at the top of your screen) if you would like an element on top of a panel to be clipped to the edges of the panel.

  This is not enabled by default since many photos do not provide room for the text you'd like to write. However it can provide a crisper look.

- Snapping captions

  When captions are dragged onto panels they will snap to the edges of the panel for a clean look.

  Note: when the panel is not rectangular or not at a 90° angle, snapping is disabled.

Note: When you move a panel, all the contained images and any captions and balloons that are on top of the panel move with it. This makes it easy to reposition the panel and its component parts on the page.
