Not seeing your change?
Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).
If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.
Good to know
WordPress can show an image from another website's address instead of uploading a copy. It is quick, but the picture then depends on the other site. If that site moves or deletes the file, your page shows a broken image.
Using someone else's image also needs their permission. For anything important, get permission and upload your own copy.
