Making Comments and Markups
Creating Markups and Comments
Comments and markups are made in Markup View and are essential to the proofing process in verybusy.io. The available tools enable you to provide detailed and specific instructions for retouchers and stay on top of communication with your team.
To navigate to Markup View, double-click one of the images inside a project. The screen will change to Markup View: the image will expand, and a comments and markup panel will appear on the left.
In Markup View, by default, the Brush tool is selected when you enter an image. Alternately, you can choose a line, arrow or rectangle tool.
Simply start drawing your markups, then type your associated comment and press Enter. You can quickly move on to your next markup or comment without needing to press any additional buttons. It’s that fast and easy!
Resolving, Replying To, and Deleting Comments
Comments will appear in chronological order, arranged by round, on the left hand side of Markup View. The name of the person who made the comment will appear at the top. Comments can be resolved by clicking the circle (will change to green), replied to, or by clicking the three-dot menu, edited by the commenter or deleted by the commenter. A brush icon indicates that there is a markup associated with the comment.

Markup and Comment Tips
Adjust Brush Size: Vary your markup brush size based on what you're highlighting by clicking on the slider located in the comment box.
Change Brush Color: Change brush colors to differentiate between commenters or enhance contrast against the image. Click on the circle next to the slider to select a different color.
Undo Markups: To undo a markup, press Cmd + Z or use the undo button. If make a mistake and already submitted the markup, delete the comment and start again.
Highlighting a Comment's Markup:
To see which markup corresponds to a comment, click on the comment; the related markup will be highlighted and zoomed in. Comments with markups will display a blue brush icon.
To find the comment related to a markup, select the arrow tool in the comment box, then click on the markup; the corresponding comment will change colors.
Marking Comments as Complete: mark comments complete to keep track of what you need to do or to inform others of progress.
