After adding the Image Overlay, the Configuration Wizard can be found on the right side of the screen. This wizard helps with importing the image. 
There are three methods to import an Image: 
* '''Import an Image from a file.''' With this method a custom Image can be imported.
* '''Select an Existing image.''' This method differs from the first option in that it is now possible to already select an existing (imported) Image from the {{software}} to display as an Overlay.
* '''Import from a Web Image Service.''' With this method it is possible to import a [[WMS]]. Read the how-to below.

{{editor steps|title=Import from a Web Image Service
| Open the configuration wizard for an [[Image Overlay]] (See how-to above)
| In the step ''Import method'', select '''Import from a Web Image Service'''.
| If the desired WMS does not yet have a defined [[Project Source]], click on "Add Sources" to [[how to create a Project Source for a WMS|create a new Project Source]] in a new window.
| In the Source Selection window, select the [[Project Source]] which relates to the intended WMS, and click on "OK". The Source Selection window will close.
| In the [[right panel]], find the entry "Layer Id", and click on "Select". Use the popup to select the layer which needs to be used by this [[WMS Overlay]].
| View the result obtained from the WMS.
