B. Links: Select some text, or position your cursor where you want to insert the link. You can also use keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+K 



C. Images: When users want to add an image or screenshot on steps as thumbnail then this option can be used. This option accepts only the URL of the file. The file should be placed on the location from where all users can access it and then its URL can be used to attach that file as image.
