Add sketches to comments on an asset

When reviewing a 2D image asset, you can draw sketches on the asset to annotate the specific area you are commenting on. For example, if you are editing an image of a character and want to change the eye color, you can add a comment instructing the artist to change the eye color and use the pen tool to circle the eye to change on the asset.

  1. Open the asset in a project. See Browse projects.

    On the Comments tab, existing comments are displayed, including the user who commented and when. To learn more about changing the comments displayed and asset view, see View asset comments.

  2. To comment on a previous asset version, select the version to comment on in the list next to the asset filename. Comments are applied to the current version of the asset by default.

  3. To add a sketch, click the Add a comment field.

  4. Click the Sketch button to enable sketch mode.

    When in sketch mode, comments and sketches on the asset are not displayed. If there are unsaved sketch changes on the asset, the menu is not available.

    Tip

    To leave sketch mode, click the enabled Sketch button in the comment. If you sketched on the asset and leave sketch mode or the asset page, you are prompted to discard your sketches. No undo is available. Click Discard to discard any sketches or Keep editing to continue sketching.

  5. In the sketch toolbar, click or select a tool to use to sketch on the asset. See Sketch toolbar.

  6. When you finish adding a sketch, enter a comment to associate with the sketch.

    If you do not enter a comment, when you click Add in the comment, (Sketch on asset preview) is displayed as the comment.

  7. Click Add.

    Your comment and sketch is added to the Comments tab.
