How to add images to document forms

Document forms in Bookem are designed to help you collect structured, reusable information. One of their most powerful features is the ability to add images - like body charts or diagrams - that can be drawn on directly during note - taking.

This is especially helpful for clinical assessments, injury tracking, or progress reports where visual context improves clarity and communication.

Tip: If you need more layout flexibility - such as placing text alongside an image, adding tables, or using variables - consider using a document template instead.
