Once saved, comments appear directly on your design with clear action options: edit, delete, or resolve. Your team members can review feedback and mark items as Resolved when completed, providing a clear audit trail of the review process. This ensures every piece of feedback is tracked and actioned.

Important: Comments are different from notes. You can add a single note on a page while you can add multiple on-spot comments.
