The Avatar component has the following properties:

Component Name - Sets the name of the Avatar component in the digital experience.

Pro Tip: It is a best practice to use only letters without spaces for the Component Id. Symbols, spaces, and numbers are not recommended.
ALT Text - Sets the text that appears if the Image fails to load. The Alt Text appears in a blank box where the Image would normally appear. It's recommended to always use Alt Text for any Images. When adding Alt Text, Studio users can choose between adding Content from Text or
Link - Sets the link to another Page in the app or an external URL.

Pro Tip: Type in tel:5558675309 to link to a phone number with "5558675309" replaced with the applicable 10-digit phone number or mailto:emailaddress to open up the default email client from the app with "emailaddress" replaced with the email address you want to be sent the email.
Open Link in a New Tab - Toggles on or off whether the Link opens in a new tab or not in the app.
Border Radius - Sets how rounded Avatar corners appear by entering a number from 0 to 50. A setting of 0 will result in a square Avatar and a setting of 50 will result in a circular Avatar.
