In this article Stu explains how to add clinical notes to pictures you import and have already included in or plan to included in a BiteFX Session Recording.* BiteFX provides animations that demonstrate the mechanics of healthy and destructive occlusion, and also includes clinical pictures that show the affects of malocclusion. These can be used in combination with pictures you've taken of your patients to enhance their understanding of their occlusal issues, and thereby increase the effectiveness of your consultation with them. If you plan to record and produce a session report using imported pictures, you will likely want to add notes to the pictures to give them meaning. Here are the topics covered in this article.

Create a folder on a location you prefer and give it a suitable folder name (e.g. **Restoration Case 1**). We recommend that you create folders that will be imported into BiteFX a shared network drive location that is accessible by all BiteFX workstations (and is required if you want to use the **Information Sharing** feature). 2. Copy the image(s) you want to share with your patients into the folder. Remember, even if you are importing only one image, it must be put in a folder to be able to import it into BiteFX. 3. You may want to create multiple folders that you can import as needed to (a) show before and after pictures of previous cases to give your patient confidence in your artistry and skill, and (b) use pictures to explain how treatment steps can be spread out over time while meeting short term goals of stabilizing the bite and stopping further damage to the dentition. ## Import the Folder Into BiteFX 1. Import the folder into BiteFX on any workstation on which the application is installed. Click on the following link, [How to Import Images Into BiteFX for Windows](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/bid/112009/how-to-import-images-into-bitefx-for-windows) if you don't know how to do this. ## Add Notes to Your Pictures Using Menu > Edit Session Notes 1.
