# Change background & element type

${youtube}[Video: change background & element type](B2R6RHszWgw)

Changing the background can be useful for setting the subject of the publication that you are going to present. Adding a good image can be a great start to making a first impression.

|| Note: Please ensure that the images you use in your publication are of good quality and high enough resolution. Using a lower resolution image and trying to make it larger may ruin the image quality, causing it to blur or pixelate. Using a higher resolution will result in longer loading times, so it's a good idea to experiment with image qualities and file sizes.

To add a background image, simply click the **Add icon** in the top left of the editor. Now click the **Images tab**, then click and drag the **Background Image element** onto your publication. You will then see the element in your publication with the image icon covering it.

Select the **image element** and you will see that it is tagged as **Image** in the bottom left in a **Cyan rectangle** with grey text. You can mouse over this and the options of **Image, Video, and Color** will appear. Click any of these if you would like to change the background type.

On the right side in the **configure tab** you can then edit the element further, depending on which element type you have selected.
