Edit Images
Images are a great way to explain difficult concepts and express ideas. A simple graphic or diagram can do a lot to help identify and solve a problem.
YouTrack includes its own image editor. This feature lets you add illustrations and comments to an image. The image editor is a handy tool for communication and collaboration.
