Overview

You have the option to place date/time or text overlays on photos taken with both the Single and the Multi Photo fields. This can help provide you with useful context about the photos, as well as useful details for recordkeeping and authentication purposes.

Note

This feature will only work for photos captured in the app and will not work with photos uploaded from your device.

How to add a date/time or text overlay

  1. Select your desired photo field and then select the Photo Overlay button in the Settings panel on the right.
