Yeah, I know what you mean about uploading images… that would be helpful. I’ll have to see if we can find a way to do that in the future. But I see your img tag working fine in the post above, so I think it did actually work.

In the meantime: I found something interesting… I think this may be happening because you are selecting the first page of the document, and the first page is a section start (the first page is always a section start… you can see that by the triangle on top of the page in the Pages panel).

If you add 1 page at the start of your red document, and then select pages 2-4 and move them… well, when I try that, it doesn’t create a new section, or a new alternate layout.

What’s really weird about what you’ve discovered is that the new alternate layout has the same name as the first one! There’s definitely some bug there.
