Hi John. Thanks for confirming that. I think I was just about on the right track over the last hour or so…

The trouble was, they're line drawings on a white background and they don't appear to be resized on the canvas when imported so they're too big for the available canvas and all I see is the top-left of the image..which is a bit of a white background. If I zoom out, the image is there. I'll have to make sure I don't go above a certain image size. Sorry to have you chasing around over this.

I can't find anything and I'm not sure how I can actually add the interactivity to an uploaded image as nothing seems intuitively obvious. If I select as the interactivity, "Hotspots", there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to add any or to annotate them.
