In-app messaging is great, but there′s only so much information you can conveniently communicate through text”“especially when discussing a document or image. It takes forever just to describe what you′re talking about, and even then you might not get the point across.

Don′t waste your time typing a description when you could just point at it.

Easy Projects now has image annotations, which allow you to take an uploaded image, mark specific areas on the screen, and type in comments for the rest of the team to review.

How Image Annotations work

Easily annotate images in EP using a quick three-step process. First, open the image preview by clicking on the image in the message board.

When you leave the image preview, comments will be displayed on the message board marked with << double brackets >> and the image icon. These comments show up in text search, the Report Generator, and in Power BI. These comments also generate notifications and are subject to the same rules as regular messages.
