I am working on updating a course after SME review and am going through the suggestions and need to flag which slides have updated scripts to be recorded, or graphics need to be modified. I can try to keep the comments in an excel file, but then I move the slides around and have to work to keep the excel file in order. In PPT, I would use review comments that follow the slide no matter where the slide is in the project.
I am wondering how other people developing directly in SL2 work.
I do same things you do, plus, if the course has a lot of slides I publish it also as a Word document and ask them to take notes on it. Sometimes, it saves a lot of time.
Since we aren't using the Articulate Reviewer product, publishing the module/course as a Word Document is the best way I have to get the SME feedback from people willing to read the material. I publish it, turn on track changes, and email it to them. It was more me tracking the changes I have made and need to make that Is more challenging than I would like.
One of the things that I do when I'm developing in Storyline 2 is to put a specific shape (ie. star) on the corner of a slide or to add a shape (box) with notes in it off to the side of the slide. This way, when I'm going through the file, slide by slide, I can see if I have anything outstanding to adjust. If I move a slide elsewhere, I still have the notes off to the side of the slide. It's not as slip as PowerPoint's review notes feature because you cannot automatically jump to the next one, but the star shape in an obnoxious colour that stands out in the corner of a slide means that I can see them from Storyview.
I also put a shape with slide/layer numbers on every slide/layer for when the SME is replying with feedback. I put that number into a word doc with a comments column for them and one for me to complete when I've done the edits.

I do the same as Meghan when developing.
