1. Click on "Browse...", select a file (a 90K .jpg), click "Open" in windows, and the filename appears on the article page. Saved the article and went to re-edit it. The filename was gone.
2. Thought that maybe the image had to be uploaded first, after which a relative link could be used. Dragging it into the "Drag and Drop Files Here" box did nothing.
3. Found an image on Pexel and pasted its URL into the box. Saved the article and went to re-edit it. The URL was gone.
