How comments work

Comments in Design Studio function as a centralized feedback system, similar to collaborative tools like Google Docs. Each comment is tied to a specific location in your design, ensuring clear communication and eliminating confusion about which elements need attention.

Adding comments in Design Studio

Follow these steps to start collecting design feedback:

1. Access your design
   • Create or open an existing design.

1. Add comments
   • In the left section of the Design Studio click the Add comment button.

1. Click on the page, on the exact place that you want to comment on, and click Send.

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.

Best cractices for team collaboration

   • Be specific about requested changes
   • Reference brand guidelines when applicable
   • Tag relevant team members
2. Review tracking
   • Use Resolve to indicate implemented changes
   • Monitor team engagement through comment activity
3. Workflow integration
   • Establish clear review cycles
   • Set team expectations for response times
   • Incorporate comments into approval processes
