Feedback is clearest when it points to exactly the right spot.
Instead of writing “the chart in the third image looks off,” you can comment directly on that image — or even on the specific part you mean.
In Lark Docs, you can comment on an entire image or just a portion of it, making collaboration faster and far more precise.
This guide shows you how to do both.
Why Comment Directly on Images?
Commenting on images keeps feedback tied to the visual it refers to, which helps your team in several ways:
- Pinpoint accuracy: Highlight the exact area you mean instead of describing it in words.
- Faster reviews: Reviewers and designers can see precisely what needs changing, reducing back-and-forth.
- Clearer context: Comments stay attached to the image, so the conversation makes sense to anyone reading later.
How to Comment on an Entire Image
- Hover over an image and click the Comment icon in the toolbar.
- Enter your comment in the text box on the right and click Post.
How to Comment on Part of an Image
Sometimes you only want to flag one section — a single milestone, a row in a chart, or a particular detail. Here is how:
- Hover over the image and click the Comment icon in the toolbar.
- Click the Select an area to comment icon in the text box on the right, and make a selection on the image.
- Enter your comment in the new comment box and click Post.
- (Optional) In the top empty comment box, you can continue to click the Select an area to comment icon and select more areas, or enter text to comment on the entire image.
- Click the dark area outside the image to return to the document.
Tip: Use area comments when reviewing diagrams, timelines, or designs. Pointing to the exact spot saves your team from guessing which part of a busy image you are referring to.
Practical Use Cases for SMEs and Startups
- Design reviews: Mark the exact element of a mockup or graphic that needs changing.
- Project timelines: Comment on a specific milestone in a Gantt chart or roadmap image.
- Data and reports: Flag a particular figure or section within a screenshot of a chart.
- Marketing assets: Give precise feedback on banners, social graphics, or product images before they go live.
