Annotations
Snapbug includes a built-in annotation editor for marking up screenshots before they become bug reports. Highlight problems, obscure sensitive data, and add written context — the same editor experience is available in the Recorder app, in the SDK's in-app report flow, and in the Chrome extension.
Tools
Arrow
Point at the exact element that misbehaves. Drag from the starting point to the target. An arrow can carry a comment describing what is wrong.
Rectangle
Draw rectangular highlights to call attention to a UI area — misaligned elements, wrong colors, or unexpected content.
Blur
Obscure sensitive information before the screenshot leaves your device:
- Personal data — names, emails, phone numbers
- Authentication tokens — API keys, session IDs
- Financial data — account numbers, balances
Draw over the area you want to hide; the region is pixelated in the exported image.
Always blur sensitive information before sharing screenshots externally. Once shared, the underlying content cannot be recovered from the exported image.
Text
Add text labels to provide written context — e.g. "Button should be disabled here". Tap where you want the label and type.
Comments and the Annotation List
Annotations are objects, not baked-in strokes. Each one can carry a comment, and the annotation list shows everything you've added — tap an entry to edit its comment or remove the annotation. This keeps reports structured: every marked spot has an explanation attached.
Colors
Pick the annotation color from a predefined palette (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, and more), so different annotations on one screenshot stay distinguishable.
Export and Share
When your annotations are complete:
- Send to Inspector — the annotated report appears in the inspector's Reports with each annotation and its comment preserved.
- Share — export the annotated image via the system share sheet to Slack, Jira, email, or any other app.
Annotations travel with the report as structured data — the inspector renders them on top of the screenshot, and each comment stays editable after the report is sent.
Next Steps
- Screenshots and Video — capture screenshots and screen recordings
- Connect your device — sync captures with the inspector
