Status Update & Project status - Inserting an image within a specific section

We’re looking to shift an increasing amount of our project statuses to Asana, and most our updates involve sharing a visual update.

We’d like to add more than Asana graphs, tasks or slides attached by including in the summary screenshots.

Is this already possible? What could be a potential workaround in the meantime?

Thanks!

Hi @sbdx,

Pictures can’t currently be attached to a specific section (ie: summary), they can only be attached at the project status level (see screenshot below) and will appear at the bottom of your status update:

I’ve slightly updated the title of your post and will keep you posted here if this is something we’re planning to implement in the future!

Right, thanks Marie! That’s we are during currently, but when the email is sent / notification in the inbox appears, we don’t see it or have to scroll down at the bottom… so it’s not as contextualized. It’s better than nothing though!

This is an important feature which should not be difficult to implement. It gets my upvote.

Any updates on this feature? I would absolutely love to imbed images into the status updates instead of having the attachment at the bottom of the page.

I would love this update as well!

Would also very much appreciate this feature.

I’m trying to push universal updates in Asana, but we currently have to add figures to a google slide deck and then link that deck in the update, which leads to push back. Would be great to prevent that work around and keep everything organized in the reports.

Hello, how do we add an image to the project status updates? I am not seeing an option on my end to add in any screenshots.

It’s kind of odd that you can include images just about everywhere else in Asana except project status updates.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and since status updates are meant for communication I’d love to see images in project status updates soon!

completely agree. Very annoying. Please fix this Asana team!

@Marie adding image as attachment is not the ideal solution. Why not just enable ctrl V for adding images as can be done in project description and comments?

This would be a great addition. Most reporting includes visual images so I hope to see this in the future!

We really need the ability to add images to status updates if I want to get the senior leadership team on board. Right now I have to link outside the status update for some critical charts and tables. the leadership team wants me to just revert to a word doc so everything is in one place.

I fully agree! We should definitely have the ability to add images to status updates! I’m also trying to convince my team to use status updates. So far the feedback is they aren’t eye catching enough.

Agreed with all the people here. Besides I cannot add attached documents when editing the status update!

Im with the group here, I really need to add an image sitting in specfic places within my comments in the status update.

I want to be able to incorporate an image (i.e., screenshot of a summary table with important results to show in a status update) in the message of my status update. Not a lot of flexibility in what you can include on the updates, I know you can attach files but it’s better if it’s just within the message. Thanks!

Added my vote. Missing this feature as I am inserting screenshots from dashboards and refering to them, and I think it’s a shame these are added at the bottom rather than inserted in the text.

Apparently comments on status updates can contain images in between the text, but not the update itself.
