Create a Thumbnail from an existing Image

Select the image in the Project Explorer.
Right-click on the image and select Create Thumbnail.

A thumbnail image (saved using the original filename suffixed with _thumb) is created and added to the project.

The default settings for creating a thumbnail can be changed by selecting the Thumbnail Page Menu Item in the Options window.

Right-click on the full size image in the Content Editor.
Select Replace with Thumbnail from the right click context menu.
A thumbnail version of the full size image will be created and added to the project (if one does not already exist). The thumbnail will be inserted in place of the full size image; as a clickable Dynamic Image widget which expands to show the full size image when clicked.

Place the cursor at the point you wish to insert the image.
Click the Image... button on the Content Authoring ribbon menu.

The Document! X Find Unused Images tool will search your project for any images that aren't currently included in your project's content. You can then select to remove these images from your project.

Click on the Find Unused Images button on the Tools tab.
Select the images that you want to remove from your project in the tree and click the Remove button.
