I’m creating a restaurant guide for a conference that occurs annually. The conference wants new and closed (since the previous year) restaurants to appear (and to be marked that way). Is there a way to place a text box on top of the image/photo of the restaurant? I need the new/closed to be searchable and ideally, easy to remove (for the next year’s guide). So far, Glide has been a wonderful solution for our guide!

The Title component allows two fields of text to be placed over an image (in the bottom left).

@Kathy_Horning Yes, you can select any two columns of text data to overlay on the photo. It doesn’t alter the image it just overlays on top of it. It’s called a Title component.
