+If you've updated to Apple's latest version of OS X, Yosemite, you have a powerful new tool for creating issues via email and you may not even know it.
+
+Yosemite debuts something Apple calls Extensions, which are little apps that run inside other apps. Extensions are available in both OS X and iOS, but since both are brand new not a lot of applications are taking advantage of them just yet.
+
+The latest version of Apple Mail does, however, make use of Extensions through it's new Markup feature. Markup is a tool to quickly add simple notes and annotations to image and PDF files directly within Mail.
+
+Here's how it works: First you add an image or PDF to a mail message. Then you click on the file and an icon appears in the top-left corner of the file preview. Click the little icon and select Markup. The image will then zoom out and you'll see a toolbar above it with options to draw shapes and add text on top of it.
+
+Most demos we've seen of Markup show people adding arrows to maps to indicate where to meet and other things you'll probably never actually do, but this is a very powerful tool for software developers. It makes adding a little bit of visual help your issues much easier. 
+
+For example, your workflow might look like this: you discover a bug with some visual component to it, let's say some CSS fails to line up your submit buttons on a form. So, you grab a screenshot (just press CMD-Shift-3 and OS X will take a screenshot), drag it to a new mail message, annotate it with some arrows pointing to the problem and a quick note about how it should look. Then you send it off to your issue tracking software which creates a new issue and attaches your screenshot complete with annotations.
+
+This way your designers don't have to wade through a bunch of prose trying to figure out what you mean by "doesn't line up". Instead they see the image with your notes and can jump straight into fixing the issue.
