Comment Diagrams let you add simple, helpful visuals to your comments—great for illustrating a problem or adding clarity. Once assigned, these diagrams show up automatically in your reports when you use that comment.

🧠 Think of Diagrams like reusable illustrations you can attach to comments in your report.
