Selecting Media

The next step asks you to tag the imported media. This is what enables Mashup's copy and layout engines to pick the right image for the right slot — the hero block needs a different kind of image than the user-generated content section.

You will see a grid of every image and video Mashup imported. Each one has a small dropdown where you can label its role:

• Cover — Primary hero image. Usually one or two of these.
• Banner — Wide editorial or lifestyle imagery, suitable for full-bleed sections.
• Gallery — Standard product shots, used throughout the page.
• UGC — User-generated content. Tag selfies, social-media-style imagery, and customer photos as UGC so they land in the right block.
• Review — Screenshots of reviews, testimonial imagery.
• Comparison — Before/after, this-vs-that imagery.
• Ignore — Anything you do not want to appear on the published page.

Mashup makes initial guesses based on image position, aspect ratio, and content cues, but the guesses are not always right. Spending one minute correcting them dramatically improves the quality of the resulting page.

Videos are auto-detected and treated as Cover or UGC depending on aspect ratio. Vertical short-form video is tagged as UGC by default, which is almost always correct.

If you want to add your own images that were not part of the import, click Upload at the top of the grid. Uploaded images get the same tagging options.

When you are happy with the tags, click Proceed. This is the step where the build credit is consumed.
