Comments on previews

Comments on previews allows clients and stakeholders to provide feedback directly on your published previews. Anyone with the preview link can add comments without needing a Maglr account.


Enabling and disabling comments on previews

When generating the first preview for a project, comments on previews will be disabled by default. To enable or disable comments on a preview:

  1. Go to your project overview and click on “publish”
  2. Click on “Preview settings” in the top-right corner of the menu
  3. Tick the box to enable comments on preview
  4. Optionally add more email addresses to be notified when comments are added

Adjusting the comments on preview settings can be done at any time and does not require republishing a preview.


Entering commentary mode from preview

Anyone with access to the preview is able to enter commentary mode and add comments. When opening a preview with comments enabled, the banner will show the option “Add comment”. When clicked, you will be redirected to a new view that will enable you to add comments.


Signing in and out

To start commenting, you will be prompted to “sign in”. You don’t need a Maglr account to comment. We only use these details to provide context on who has commented and to send updates to the commenter.

To sign in, provide:

  • Your display name
  • The email address you wish to receive notifications on

Note these details carefully. If you wish to edit or delete comments in the future, you will need to sign in with the exact same details.


Comments are visible to everyoneKeep in mind that your comments are visible to everyone with access to the preview link. That includes users who aren’t signed in. This may not be evident to the first commenter.


If you wish to sign out, click on “sign out” at the top left. After confirming, you will no longer be able to comment unless you sign in again. This also provides you with the opportunity to comment under a different name and/or email address.

Adding, editing, and deleting comments

After signing in with your details, you’re ready to start commenting. Navigate the preview as you would normally. Comments can be added on a page in general or by marking a specific element.


Adding a comment

To add a comment to a page:

  1. Click on “Add comment” in the top-right corner
  2. Write a comment
  3. Optionally mark an element by clicking the visual marker and then clicking an element on the page
  4. Optionally include a screenshot or other type of attachment for context
  5. Click “Add”


Editing and deleting a comment

You can edit and delete your own comments. To edit a comment:

  1. Click on the comment you wish to edit or delete
  2. Click on the three dots to open the menu and select the desired action
  3. If you choose to edit, adjust your comment similarly to how you would add a comment

A deleted comment is still visible to you in the overview, but can no longer be seen by others or the designer.


Filtering comments

The comment overview may get bulky when going through multiple iterations of feedback. A designer can divide feedback into multiple rounds for a clearer overview. Commenters can filter the comment overview by round, device, and status. By default, no filter is active and all comments are shown.


Managing comments as a designer

As a designer with access to the Maglr Pro editor, you can view and handle comments from within the editor. Additionally, you’re able to manage review rounds and which users receive email notifications.


Reviewing comments in the Pro editor

From the dashboard, you can see which projects and pages have comments on them. To view comments, click on a page and navigate to the “Comment” panel on the left side.

From this overview, you can filter comments by page, review round, and status. Comments that have not been reviewed yet have a blue dot next to them. Click on the comment to view it, send a reply, download attachments, or update the status. If a commenter has set a visual marker, you can click it to directly navigate to the element in question.


Email notifications

A notification will be sent to the designer(s) when a new comment has been added. To prevent spam, we have implemented a slight delay to bundle comments together and send them in one overview via email.

If you no longer wish to receive such notifications, remove your email address from the preview settings.


Adding a new review round

To keep things tidy, you can structure comments in rounds for review. To add a new round:

  1. Go to your project and click ‘Publish’
  2. Click on ‘Add new review round’

When a new round has been added, new comments will automatically be added to the most recent round. The publish overview shows how many comments have been added to a round.
