The description field is a real-time live editor available in tasks, folders, and projects. Information in the description field is automatically and instantly saved so that you and your teammates can work on the same item at the same time and see the changes you make in real time. When someone else is editing the same description, you will see a cursor with the name of the user who is making changes.

Wrike Tips!
To add an image to the description field:
A thumbnail of the image is added to the description field and if the image was uploaded from the computer, it’s added as an attachment to this task, folder, or project. Hover over the thumbnail and click the three-dot menu to either open, expand, or delete the image.
Also, you can add images from the description of other items in your Wrike account, or from outside of Wrike, simply by copying and pasting them into the description field. This way, a thumbnail of the image is added to the description field and the same image is added as an attachment.
You can create a new table or copy a table from any place outside of Wrike and paste it into the description field.
To create a new table click the “Insert Table” icon on the tool panel. Next, apply the size for the table (the maximum size of a new table is 8x15 but you can add more rows and columns later).
To edit the table:
