display the Energy layer.
3. Expand the layer you are editing.
4. If you are replacing an existing background image, right-click on the image in the LAYERS pane and
select DELETE.
5. Make sure the layer you are editing is still selected.
6. Do one of the following:
– If the image is already in the database, click VIEW ASSETS, select the image, and click Import.
– If the image is not already in the database, drag the file from your local computer and drop it onto the
work area in Graphics Builder.
The image is now in the Assets and can be reused in other graphics.
