In your interactiveData JSON payload in the templates folder, replace each image data field with the filename of the corresponding image in the images folder. like so:
...
"images": [
{
"identifier": "color-preview",
"data": "color_preview.jpeg"
},
{
"identifier": "color-reply",
"data": "reply_icon.png"
},
{
"identifier": "color-warm",
"data": "color_warm.jpeg"
},
{
"identifier": "color-cool",
"data": "color_cool.jpeg"
},
{
"identifier": "color-neutral",
"data": "color_neutral.jpeg"
},
{
"identifier": "color-unsure",
"data": "unsure_icon.png"
}
],
...
