Updated today

How to Edit Media in a Pin

  1. Open Media

    1. Open the desired Pin.

    2. Tap or Click on the photo or PDF you want to Edit.

  2. Enter Edit Mode

    1. In the iOS-App, an ✏️ Edit icon appears at the top right.

    2. In the Web app, you will find the Edit button in the right menu.

    3. Tap or Click on the respective icon to start editing.

Editing Options

📌 For Photos:

  • Change Title: Each post can be individually named.

  • Draw: Add freehand drawings directly into the image.

  • Rotate: Align the image correctly – directly in the app.

📄 For PDFs (iOS-App only):

  • Change Title

  • Draw and Comment: Add text, highlights, arrows, freehand sketches, or even your signature.

  • Ideal for digitally filling out forms on-site, which are then saved directly in the Pin.

Version Safety During Editing

When you Edit a photo or PDF, the original Version is not deleted, but automatically set to inactive.

This ensures that no image is made unrecognizable by editing or accidentally overwritten.

If you want to view or further Edit old Versions of photos or PDFs:

  • Open the relevant Pin in the Web app.

  • Sctivate the display of inactive content in the Media area.

Deactivate Media

If an image or PDF should no longer be displayed (e.g., in the Report), you can manually deactivate it – it remains stored in the Pin.

Use the trash can icon for this purpose.
