How do I use a Figures List?

Figures lists enable their Owners (creators) and Co-owners, Content Managers (editorial staff), and Authors (external users) to collaborate in the discovery and selection of images when illustrating a new book project. Authors have access to features that enable them to search for suitable images and select them for use in a specific figure in a specific chapter. If necessary, Figures Lists Owners, Co-owners, and Content Managers can also perform the same functions that Authors do. In addition, Owners, Co-owners, and Content Managers are expected to retrieve original artwork, resolve permissions, and manage the overall process of getting the project illustrated.
