Solution 2: Itemize Your Comments and Pictures
To enhance the organization of your report, itemize your comments and pictures. Refer to the article Desktop Report Writer: Add Comments for detailed instructions.
Solution 3: Resize Your Pictures
Large pictures can contribute to blank spaces. Resize all your pictures to be smaller. To learn how to resize photos, refer to the Edit Photos section of the article Desktop Report Writer: Add or Edit Media in Reports
Suggestion 4: Use Landscape Pictures
Consider taking landscape-oriented pictures rather than portrait-oriented ones in the future.
If you're using the HomeGauge Companion, this means rotating your mobile device for pictures instead of holding it normally.
Suggestion 5: Limit the Number of Pictures per Comment
Avoid using more than 2 medium-sized or 3 small-sized pictures all on one comment. Distribute pictures across comments to maintain a clean layout.
