Application thumbnails are displayed throughout the platform—for example, in the Applications view of the Manage workspace, galleries, and voting pages.
By default, thumbnails are generated from the first file or URL added to an application, but may be customised.

Good to know
- The "Choose thumbnail" box will only display after an image or URL field has been added to the application.
- Thumbnail selection by applicants may be disabled by managers in the 'Advanced' tab of a form's settings by deselecting Allow entrants to choose thumbnail.
- If you do not see thumbnails in Applications, check that the 'Thumbnail' column is enabled using the cog menu.
- Images larger than 16 300px square cannot be displayed as thumbnails.
- An application round must be open for applicants to reorder attachments.
- If there are no images or URL fields, thumbnails will appear blank in the Applications view.
- Applications without images will also appear blank on the voting page.
- Thumbnails may also be added to grant reports.
