+=== Editor overview ===
   * Sentori's editor is now designed for teams, meaning you and your colleagues can be working on the same email, from separate machines, and their changes can be pulled in real-time without overwriting your changes.
   * The new editor no longer requires you to go to a separate screen to work; emails are edited directly inside the workflow.
   * You can now only edit a single slot at a time. Once you have made your edit, click the tick button to save your changes or the X button to undo them and revert back to the previous content.
-  * Image slots are edited by clicking on the image and the image icon on the toolbar to open the image managed window.
+  * Image slots are edited in the same way as text slots; click on the image, then choose the appropriate option from the toolbar (image manager or link manager).
   * The subject line can be set by clicking on it in the white header above the email.
   * The sender name and details can be set in the same area.
 ==== Email tests ====
