Note: Image changes are saved to Manage Files at the course-level root, or, depending on user permissions, as new file attachments to the item (such as the discussion) every time a change is made. Multiple edits, in turn, create multiple files. If the course is copied, all image edits are copied as well. Edited images are saved with their original names followed by a date-time string, which helps to find changed pictures easily when browsing files in Manage Files.
