:-) Thanks Richard. Yes I was able to find it. For ACME Exercise all vehicle images are stored under Acme Automobile Reference Application (AA) with an associated ID

The images are stored in Appian as "document" in "document folder". So its in the Appian cloud.
Every document has a document ID which is unique per environment. So storing the id and calling makes it accessible environment wide.
-> more information here:

a!imageField(
  images: {
    a!documentImage(
      document: todocument(123456)
    )
  }
)

The `VehicleImage` refers to the id of the image on the Appian platform which can be accessed in a variety of different ways. One way is through the a!imageField() component like above. The key is to convert the integer id into a document through the todocument() function (although Appian may just convert the id even without the todocument() function if used in the right spot, regardless, the idea is that the id refers to a document).
