Site Designer - Struggling with some...

I have built websites before a good few years ago in html using Dreamweaver 8 on a PC. I now use a MacBook 13" with Big Sur 11.6.3. and I am trying Site Designer in Trial Mode. I seem to be missing something simple with adding Media Picture 1x1 to a page in Foundation. I drag the element across to the new page to the top left and then click on the blue double circular arrow symbol. This brings up a new window where I can select my image via Add images/Folders and click on Open which then shows the image in the window. Then what? I cannot seem to see how I get back to the main formatting page. I look for a button to press but there is nothing there. Is there a button on the bottom of the screen, but because I am trying on my laptop maybe it is hidden. My only option so far is to abort the App.

Sending my screenshot of the same taken on a windows computer. There are indeed some buttons at the bottom of the window. I'm not good with Mac computers, but there might be a setting for scaling and screen resolution. If so, I'd advise you not to let any of those exceed 100%, or what is recommended.

Thanks Inger. That screenshot of yours will help greatly. I was beginning to pull my hair out!
Now looking to change the screen resolution.

Not sure if I needed to start a new thread but here goes.
I created a rather basic online site from a builder on my host site (one.com).
I am trying to replicate something similar. I have an image (logo) in the header and a contact info to the right side of the header. Under this I have text in the body.
Can somebody tell me if this can be achieved easily in SD or is this too advanced for a newbie.

It is an easy job for Site Designer. From your previous screenshot, where you wanted to insert the image) I assume that you are using Foundation? Are you familiar with using Flexbox, or CSS grid in your site-building? I'll check back in a wee while to see your answer, just now I'm cooking supper...

I am back tracking now and going through some tutorials to get a better understanding of things. I am viewing a tutorial on "Visions" in Foundation mode and I have added Headings 1 etc and it is now telling me to on point #4 to go to the Typography settings: I am here but I really cannot see where I change the Font to Montserrat. I have just downloaded and purchased the latest version is the tutorial out of date or am I really missing something obvious?

Select the h1 element not the container or body element
There you will see it set to the default font
Open the downward pointing arrow there you will see all the fonts available

Regarding the above - I have added Monserrat Font and it's asking for a change to the Fallback Font to Cursive. The default there is "sans-serif" but I cannot see Cursive in the drop-down.

I don't fully understand who or what is asking to change the fallback font. It's just a fallback fon't sans serif or whatever makes no real difference. Just go ahead and continue,
