Changing the thumbnail of a story

You can replace the default thumbnail of a story with another thumbnail, to make it easier to distinguish between stories in the app overview and in the story navigator. You can use one of the default images, or an image of your own.

Do the following:

  1. In the app overview, click Ç to view the stories.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If you are in grid view, ì, click the story title followed by clicking @.
    • If you are in list view, î, click @.
  3. Click 0 on the default thumbnail.

    A folder with images opens.

  4. Select the image you want to use as a thumbnail for the story and click Apply.
  5. Click @ again.

The image you selected is now used as a thumbnail for the story, and is visible in the story navigator and in the app overview.

Tip noteYou can also change a story’s thumbnail in the story navigator at the top right.
Tip noteThe optimal aspect ratio of a thumbnail is 8:5 (width:height).
Information note

For Qlik Sense: If the folder is empty, or you want to add your own images, you need to use the Qlik Management Console to upload images to the folder.

For Qlik Sense Desktop: If the folder is empty, or you want to add your own images, you find the folder at: <user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default

The following formats are supported: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, and .gif.

If you want to revert to the default thumbnail, click E in the upper left corner of the thumbnail while editing the story details.

Information noteYou can only add or change the thumbnail of an unpublished story.
