Commenting Shortcomings:
- Lack of Context & History
- Comments are tied to specific parts of the design but don’t provide a broader historical view of the feedback or decisions.
- If you resolve a comment, it’s gone from the visible interface, which makes it hard to track why decisions were made.
- Comments are always in a closed state. There needs to be an option to toggle between show latest comment/show collapsed/show none.
- Limited Status Tracking:
- Comments only have “Done” as a status, so you can’t track progress on individual items (e.g., “In Progress,” “Needs Discussion”).
- Need the ability to write custom statuses with custom colors
-
You can’t categorize or add metadata to comments (e.g., “low-priority” vs. “critical” feedback), which would help prioritize responses.
- Hard to Find Unread/Unresolved Comments:
- Comments get lost in larger files with many pages and frames.
-
You can’t easily filter comments by person, frame, or status. If someone tags multiple people or comments are spread across a large file, they can be hard to locate.
