Articulate Review and Rise -- Annotated comments are needed for blocks.

Hey James, thanks for the candid feedback. Our product team is always keen to hear about customer needs, so I can certainly pass along your suggestion. And feel free to share any other ideas you have here.

As an alternative, I've attached annotated screenshots to my comments in review.  Here's what that looks like:

Hopefully that's a helpful workaround for getting specific about needed edits.

I agree with this suggestion. My clients don't want to go through the work of capturing a screen and attaching it. They have better things to do. BUT thank you for the suggestion.

Has there been any work done on this lately?  Running into the issue mentioned above and with the same response - screen annotations and captures take too long. Thanks!

Hi Kilmeny,

It's not yet a feature added to Rise/Review but we'll keep you posted here with any changes. 

Hey folks! I wanted to clarify how commenting works on Rise Blocks lessons.

When you leave a comment about a particular block, the screenshot of that block will appear next to the comment in the Feedback tab. This 1-minute video explains exactly how it works.

Let me know if that's what you had in mind, or if you're looking for something else!

I am finding the automatic screen-shotting of the relevant Rise block doesn't always sufficiently identify to me as the ID exactly where the problem is. For example from the poster's own example above in a 7 lesson course particularly in Rise where everything looks and feels very "samey" it isn't always possible for the ID to say oh,... yes that's the 3rd lesson seventh block.  Instead I have to scour through the whole course for what has been screenshotted,... not always an easy or quick task. The current task I have had reviewed using Review, has a number of comments which are easy to find some which are hgoing to take me a while to find. What I am ultimately looking for would be (probably impossible) a link for me as the ID (only) to go there to that exact spot in the course, or at the very least some other way of identifying the exact position of the "error".  (Asking the reviewer(s) to record the section name in their feedback springs to mind but that's not going to give me consistent results...)

Thanks so much for that feedback, Brian. While you should see the screenshot provided in the Feedback tab, I can see how a link that will take you directly to the block would help to clear up confusion. I appreciate your idea, and I'll share it with the team!

Hey Alyssa, thanks for the quick demo. In your example your screenshots are both IMAGES which are easily and visibly identifiable, and you are unlikely to have more than one instance of the same image in a 7 lesson course.... my instance is much more like the attached. Text based..... and looks like all pages of the whole course.... much harder to find the exact spot unless there are direct links to it. (However I have just noticed that I can sort my feedbacks by "LESSON" and this helps me to find out which Lesson the feedback is in, so I think I am sorted now.

Hey Brian,

I hear you, and that makes a lot of sense! I'm happy that sorting the feedback by lesson is helpful, but I'll still pass along your feature idea to our team. 😊

I have the same issues.  My clients were not at all happy with the Review tool in Rise and asked for a full transcript of the modules (2 lots ot 6 so far) so they can mark these up.

So, I exported my Rise projects as PDFs, then converted these to .docx files and posted these using OneDrive to collect and collate feedback... Or at least, that was my plan.

The problem with this is that so far, only one of my exported PDFs are able to be converted to Word format.  The PDFs are crashing Word in Windows and on Mac.

I realise I could use the PDF annotation tools, but my client is more familiar with marking up in Word and are unlikely to change.

Does anyone have any suggestions please?
