The rich text editor allows for fast and convenient formatting and structuring of your instruction texts and feature descriptions, making it easier to communicate complex information and highlight the most important aspects for our testers.
NEW: Since March 2023 you can add pictures right into your texts, to enhance your feature descriptions & test instructions and provide additional visualizations that guide our testers in your tests.
The editor is currently available for the following text fields:
Feature descriptions
Where can the feature be found?
Description (expected behavior and functions)
Test instructions for Exploratory and Test Case tests
Goal of this test
Out of scope
Additional requirements
Example: Rich Text Editor for test instruction fields (here: Test case test)
How to use the editor
You will automatically see the editor whenever you edit one of the related fields, or create a new feature. On small screens, the options can be scrolled horizontally.
The formatted text will be displayed wherever the texts are shown in our customer interface and also to our testers and teamleaders.
Using the rich text editor is optional. It is still possible to provide and write plain text instructions.

Pictures can be added anywhere into your texts. You can drag and drop them into the text field, copy and paste them, or search and upload from your system using the "Add Picture" button in the tool bar.
Good to know:
You can add an optional caption text to each image.
The display size will depend on the width of your image.
You can position 1 or 2 pictures in one row, 2 will be displayed smaller.

Considering readability and balance between text and pictures, we recommend to add not more than 5 images to one text field.
