SmartDoc Feature: Images

Add an image to a SmartDoc from the / menu or by drag and drop, then resize, wrap, caption or expand it.

Written by Peter Novosel

Insert an image in a SmartDoc from the slash command or by dragging the file in. Then resize it, align or wrap it, add a caption and open it full size.

Example: the Information Security Policy in the Policy Statement field explains how a new vendor is reviewed. The policy owner adds a diagram of the review steps under that section and captions it "Vendor review flow".

Plan Availability

All plan types. Images count toward the workspace file storage: 50 GB on Team, 100 GB on Professional and 500 GB on Enterprise and Signature.

Permissions

Any member who can edit the record can add and change images in its SmartDoc.
