# Fix a Thumbnail Image

You might have noticed that your quilt does not have a thumbnail image of your quilt. This is often the case on the Quilt Dashboard or when creating a digital coloring page (Market Plan).

This broken image (<img src="https://667278489-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPUFswdysHBJDPIJC9xe0%2Fuploads%2FEvFWyurpjan3acIPBA3r%2F02%20broken%20image.png?alt=media&#x26;token=13ddcb1c-982b-411d-af40-59df827197c7" alt="" data-size="line">) will appear when a thumbnail image has not been created for a quilt. To save processing time and database space, a thumbnail image is not produced every time the quilt is saved. A thumbnail image is only created upon request. To fix this:

1. Click on the three dots (<img src="https://667278489-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPUFswdysHBJDPIJC9xe0%2Fuploads%2FJA0rHdSqgIdcEX3b3Zhe%2F03%20three%20dots.png?alt=media&#x26;token=cabf122b-e4e5-4d53-8df3-aa4b21e63eff" alt="" data-size="line">) on the quilt tile that has a broken thumbnail image.
2. Select <mark style="color:blue;">**Update Thumbnail**</mark> from the menu that appears.
3. A spinning wheel will appear while the thumbnail is created.&#x20;

   * NOTE: This might take a minute or two.

4. Once created, a thumbnail of the quilt will appear on the tile.
