Articulate Review and Rise -- Annotated comments are needed for blocks.
Developing a 7-lesson course and it is difficult to attach comments to a specific block within Review. For example, if you have a lesson with 7-10 blocks and you comment, you have to provide context in each content, for example: "In paragraph 7, line 3, change the word X to Y".
It would be great if it would allow us to attach reviews to blocks, or, go even deeper to specific words--like in Word, PDF's or PPTs.
Hi everyone,
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Review 360! This update adds the following feature:
- Make your feedback more precise by adding screenshots annotated with text, drawings, and shapes to comments.
There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to publish your course again to Review 360.
Let me know if you have any questions about this update.

I would like to add to this discussion. It is very difficult to get granularity in comments in Review 360 to the degree that my stakeholders require. (Complex Policies and Regulations). They want to get down to the word specific. It is very time consuming to have to say things like "on the third bullet change the second word to X", etc. Everyone is very familiar with the track changes features on Word and the very specific comment bubbles in PowerPoint that can be moved around on the screen to the exact place being discussed. Providing feedback is never as high level as "change the image".
I am still struggling with this issue. I am now back to sending Word docs of the text so the client can mark these up and track changes!
Very inconvenient and inefficient. It makes us look unprofessional to clients.
If the reviewer could drop markers on the screenshot which were tied to numbered comments, then that would help.
Hi Martin and Melissa,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your insights with us. We are continuing to track this request, so I will be adding your comments to our report. As soon as we have more details to share, we will be sure to reach out to provide an update!
This is an issue for my team as well - we need a good way for our clients to provide specific feedback easily and for our team to track our work as we address feedback.
I am also finding this painful. There are web site review tools out there that allow you to select the part of the screen you are commenting on...for me linking to the right block is pretty essential. I have a lot of images in my courses, and they tend to be radiological images (CT scan images for example) - which look very much the same to me because I'm not a radiologist! Identifying which section the image is from can take ages.
Thank you so much Carrington and Nicola for taking the time to share the importance of this feature request. Our team is continuing to gather information on adding annotated comments. This feature hasn't been prioritized by our team, but we'll make sure to communicate any updates in this discussion.
I am re-responding to this!
We have clients who require us to produce Word documents that they can use to proof Rise (and some SL) projects.
Because of the difficulty in communicating which block, image and text requires change, our amendment workflow is seriously extended.
The Review tool needs a ‘sketch’ feature so users can annotate images, or at least mark them to align with comments. Likewise, text needs to be able to be highlighted for comments. Simply having a ‘thread’ means endless time is spent trying to explain what the changes are.

I also have this requirement and would like to add my voice to get this feature up the priority list!
I agree. My reviewers typically feel the need to add in context clues to describe where they are leaving a comment, which they feel adds unnecessary time. It would be great to have the comments more easily aligned with the block
Hello- Also would like to add to this thread. Is there an update as to when the comments could be aligned with the block?
Hi, Patricia.
While this feature hasn't made it on our feature roadmap yet, this discussion is connected to the report, so we'll be sure to notify you when we have news to share.
