Screenshot and annotate bugs directly to Notion

Virgile Gouala
After this: annotated screenshots in Notion before you click away. Region capture is free; annotation editor is Pro.

A screenshot without context is a mystery. A screenshot with a red rectangle, an arrow, and three words is a bug report.

The gap between the two is usually too much friction: capture with one tool, open an image editor, draw on it, export, upload to wherever your team works. By the time that's done, you've switched contexts twice and something got skipped.

Filed handles the whole flow: capture, annotate, save to Notion. You never leave the browser.

The workflow

Click the screenshot button in the Filed toolbar. Choose full page, current viewport, or draw a custom region. Region capture is available on the free plan.

On Pro, click Annotate after capturing. The editor opens as a full-screen overlay on top of the screenshot:

Annotation tools in the editor
  • Rectangle (frame an area)
  • Arrow (point at the problem)
  • Text label (explain it in words)
  • Blur (hide credentials or personal data)
  • Step markers (circled numbers for multi-step sequences)

The hardest part of a bug report isn't writing it. It's capturing the exact state before you click away.

What gets saved to Notion

Filed creates an entry in your Links or Media database (depending on your workflow) and attaches a Notion page with everything inside:

What's inside each save
  • Page title and URL
  • The original screenshot (unmodified)
  • The annotated version (your markup on top)
  • Saved timestamp
  • Screenshot type (full page, viewport, or region)

When this is useful

QA runs. You catch something wrong, annotate it immediately, save to Notion before switching tabs. No reconstruction from memory later.

Design reviews. You're on a production page, you see a spacing issue, you draw a rectangle around it, label it, save. The record exists.

Step-by-step documentation. Region captures of individual UI elements, annotated with step numbers, saved in sequence. You build the document as you walk through the flow.

Region capture without annotation

If you only need the region capture, no annotation, that's free. Crop any part of the page, save it as an image to Notion with the source URL and timestamp.

The annotation editor is a Pro feature on top. The 14-day trial gives you full access to test it on your actual workflow.
