To add an image block, toggle the block inserter and search for the block named image. For more information on adding blocks see Getting Started

Editing

Empty image block added to the page first prompts the user to select an image to add to it.

Once an image is selected, it will appear in the editor. From here you can leave it as it is or add a caption below it.

Adding text on the image block is also possible by toggling the Add text over image option in the tooltip panel.

When this option is toggled, it will move the caption text if already present on top of the image for further configuration. New options will be available in the right-hand configuration panel.

You can also quickly modifiy the scale of the text by selecting the text block and exploring the size options in the right-hand configuration panel.

Text placement over the image can also be changed by selecting the Change content position button on the tooltip panel.
