In this lesson we cover the Insert Module along with FileField Sources Module. The Insert Module is a great module when combined with a few others and is setup right. It takes a few configurations but gives you lots of flexibility with your images and placing them into the text area. We also demonstrate how you can use the FileField Sources module to make the insert module that much better when it comes to media management.
