Secondly, if you have not manually uploaded a thumbnail, but the document'scontent textContains an image, the Anqi CMS will automatically extract the first image in the content as the thumbnail for this document. This is an intelligent backup solution.
Finally, the system will enable the one you preset in the background only when neither of the first two conditions (i.e., no thumbnail is manually uploaded, and no images are available for extraction in the content) are met.System default thumbnailTherefore, the default thumbnail is the ultimate guarantee of the visual integrity of the website content.
