An online thumbnail can be added by copying the logo URL to Thumbnail Hyperlink. An offline thumbnail can be added by copying the thumbnail file to this folder: …\Orbit 3DM Publisher\server\program\wwwroot\thumbnail. Copy the URL structure ''<nowiki>http://<service ID>:<port>/thumbnail/<filename></nowiki>'' to the Thumbnail Hyperlink.
