Add a diagram to the description so it's visible to everyone who reads the issue, including in Jira mobile, notification emails and exports.

  1. Open the diagram and save it at least once.
  2. Press Description → Add to issue description. The diagram is attached as a PNG and added at the end of the description.
  3. Each time you save, the image is updated in place, keeping any size you set in the description.

Cards for these diagrams carry an In description badge. Use Description → Update image now to refresh it, or Remove from description to take it out. If you delete the image from the description by hand, the app stops updating it.
