Draw mode

Draw mode turns the preview into an editable whiteboard. Instead of describing a change in words alone, you circle, box, or write directly on the screen — then hand those annotations to the chat so Archie knows exactly what you mean.

​

Turning it on

Click the pencil icon in the floating toolbar at the bottom of the canvas (alongside Navigate, Select / Inspect, and Comment). The toolbar switches to a drawing-specific set of tools: pen, rectangle, arrow, text, a color picker, undo, delete, and Send to chat.

​

Marking up the screen

Use whichever tool fits the note:

• Pen — freehand marks
• Rectangle — box around the element you mean
• Arrow — point at something specific
• Text — write a short instruction right on the canvas
• Color picker — change the color of what you’re about to draw

Draw as many marks as you need. In this example, a box calls out the button and a text note says what to change about it:

​

Sending it to chat

Click Send to chat. Draw mode closes and your marks collapse into a single attachment in the chat input — labeled with the screen name and how many marks it contains (for example, “landing · 2 marks”). Type what you want done and send the message as normal. Archie reads the screenshot together with your marks and instructions, so a note like “make this bigger” pointing at a specific button is unambiguous about what to change — the same way it would be if you were marking up a screenshot for a teammate.

When to use Draw mode

Reach for Draw mode when a change is easier to point at than to describe — resizing or repositioning something, calling out several small tweaks across the screen at once, or flagging a spot where “that one, right there” is clearer than a written description. For changes you can fully describe in words, Talking to Archie alone is faster. For a single element you want to edit directly rather than describe, use the visual editor.
