## How to use it in Doodi.

The steps to try it in your own workspace.

1.  ### Choose Annotate design
    
    Open the post’s context menu and enter annotation mode.
    
2.  ### Mark and describe
    
    Click an element or drag an area, then write the change you want.
    
3.  ### Review and send
    
    Check the queued comments in Doodi’s composer and send them together.
    

## Good to know.

Answers about design annotations before you start.

### Does saving a comment send it immediately?

No. Comments update the composer so you can review them before sending.

### Can I annotate more than one post?

Yes. One message can include annotations for up to four posts.

### Can I change an image without asking AI?

Yes. Change image opens the project’s picker and applies your chosen replacement directly.

### What if the design changes after I mark it?

Doodi checks saved revisions and annotation targets. Comments that no longer match remain available for you to review instead of silently targeting another element.
