Comments and Review
Explains how to leave comments on slides or blocks and manage reviews using replies, edits, deletions, and resolved status.
Comments are a feature that attaches feedback to specific locations in the skeleton and final deck. Instead of long messenger conversations, you can clearly record which block of a slide needs to be changed within the project.
Targets that comments attach to
- Entire slide
- Specific content block
- Skeleton canvas
- Final deck canvas
Comments store the canvas position and can be distinguished between open and resolved comments.
Leaving a comment
- 1
Open the slide to review
Select the exact section in the skeleton or final deck.
- 2
Choose the comment location
Decide whether the comment is for the whole slide or a specific block, then add the comment at that location.
- 3
Write in actionable sentences
State the problem, the reason, and the desired change. Example: "The reference period for a 18% conversion rate is not visible. Please add Q2 2026 below the card."
- 4
Continue the context with a reply
Instead of creating a new comment repeatedly, reply to the existing thread on the same topic.
- 5
Mark as resolved after editing
Once the change is reflected and the reviewer confirms, change the comment to resolved status.
Criteria for good comments
- The slide number or block is clear.
- Explain what is wrong instead of saying "odd".
- If possible, state the desired outcome.
- Separate fact-checking from style preferences.
- Include priority and deadline if needed.
- Do not mix multiple issues into one comment.
Good example:
In slide 6’s sales chart, the units for May and June differ. Standardize to ten‑thousand‑won units based on the original financial report, and add a source below the chart.
Less good example:
Please redo the chart.
Managing comment messages
In a comment thread, you can add replies. Depending on permissions and author conditions, you can edit or delete messages, and the thread itself is managed as open or resolved.
- When correcting misinformation, inform that the original meaning has changed via a reply.
- For core comments already answered by someone else, prefer a correcting reply over deletion.
- Before marking resolved, have the reviewer confirm the final result.
- If the UI allows reopening resolved comments, reuse them when new issues are found.
Team review operation examples
- Storyline review: check messages, order, and missing justifications.
- Skeleton review: verify information density, chart/table structure, and wording.
- Final deck review: check style, trimming, images, and presentation quality.
- Focus on one level of issue per review round.
- The final approver checks all resolved and remaining open comments.
Comment permissions differ from direct editing permissions. Grant external reviewers only the comment permission when needed.
