Issues adding an image to your Sermon Notes?

If you have an issue adding an image to your Sermons Notes, it is probably due to improper placement of the image URL. A common issue is placing the image URL between the brackets instead of the parenthesis here: ![](http://)
Example of CORRECT image URL placement: ![](https://www.bible.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimageproxy.youversionapi.com%2F640x640%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fstatic-youversionapi-com%2Fimages%2Fbase%2F94071%2F1280x1280.jpg&w=1920&q=75)
