Add image to Azure Devops Dashboard

Question

I need to add a static image to Azure Devops dashboard. Is the easiest way to do this using the MarkDown widget? And if so, where do I store my image to link to it in markdown? And can you please give me an example? does the dashboard have a storage area for images, or markdown files? Or does it have to be stored somwhere in my git repository. I would prefer not to, as I am merely a scrummaster, with no easy access to git repository. Thanks

To use a static image in your dashboard without storing the image a git repository, you can store it into your project wiki.

The trick is to:

1. Add an image to any wiki page
2. Submit your changes and close the page editor
3. Right-click on the image, and select the option "Copy the image's address"
4. Then, in your dashboard, add a MarkDown widget, in which you put the following content:

![Text](youre-image-url-address)

And that's it! :) Beware of taking the image address after closing the wiki page editor, otherwise the link you'll get will be a blob and won't work.
