Curtain mode in order to "lock" the design from viewing and commenting before being ready

I’m totally agree with this idea. A “curtain mode” feature could save designers around the world!

You could just introduce branches to your workflow?

I absolutely agree with a ‘curtain’. I’ve been hunting for a plug-in, that doesn’t exist to do something like this.

In this scenario “branching” doesn’t work, as it just merges version and creates more confusion.

From my perspective, what Christelle is referring to is the “‘too many fingers in the pie”. Where everyone has an opinion and you feel like there is always someone behind your shoulder, wanting to change this, that.

I’m totally up for collaborating in a file and being able to add comments, etc. but it needs to be controlled by the editor. The issue is when you are working in the file and trying to work, make updates, etc, and you can see others browsing through your file and commenting. It can be very distracting and interruptive and feels like your process is being questioned.

The ability to “freeze/curtain” a file for viewing while being edited would be amazing. Instant notifications letting viewers know when a file is/not ready for viewing and review.
