Hi, I'm using the scenario builder and have a few questions. 1. Is it possible to add images into each speach bubble? I can see the option for audio, but not for an image. 2. Is it possible to format the text, i.e. if I want to bold or italicising something? 3. Is it possible to add in links to pop ups or hyper links into the speach bubbles? 4. Is there any way I can use the images in the scenario as their own stand alone images? I can't seem to find a full body avatar in the stock media...
