Click Add Photo.

Browse to where your photo is on your device, select it and click Add Photo.

The screen will refresh and you will see the newly added photo. 

Repeat the process on the other placeholders to add additional photos. 

If you need to edit or replace an added photo, click on that photo. A modal opens up with the current photo in the modal.  Click Update Photo to remove or replace the photo.

As indicated on the screen, to delete the photo without replacing it, simply click Replace Photo.  Otherwise select your photo and click Replace Photo.

Upon clicking Create Event, the screen will refresh and you will be shown your completed Event.
