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.

Putting in another vote for this feature.
I've noticed that the review comments are much more likely to align with the associated block when the client has a strong internet connection and makes their comments as they view each block. Screenshots seem more likely not to be aligned with the correct block if the internet connection is really bad (and then especially if reviewers go back and comment on an earlier block in a lesson).I don't currently have an update to share on the ability to comment and annotate in Review 360. At this time, we are prioritizing other feature requests but I will connect with my team to see what the timeframe might be for this type of feature.
Our reviewers have shared that they would like to see this feature as well. Any update?
I would also like to voice that this seems like a critical feature in reviewing material. Being able to 'pinpoint' what portion of the slide (for Storyline 350 assets) a comment is referring to is integral for efficient and clear communication in the comments section.
It would also help for creators to add specific notes/comments to a particular sentence (e.g., if adding an FYI comment containing links to references).
Also adding to this discussion as it seems to be at least 5 years of consideration on fixing this now. Would love a notification when the update happens.
Boosting this request! We simply don't use the review tool for Rise courses, because it's clearly not compatible. The main benefit of using Rise over another product is the efficiency of development, but this slows us down considerably.
I'd also like to add in a voice here. I'm very used to working in Google docs, and adding comments is easy, specific and traceable. I would love to have the same functionality on review versions of trainings in Articulate. Right now, people have to add in context clues when commenting or I have to follow up individually with commenters to ask for clarification. It is extremely time consuming and not at all convenient.
Additionally, if I want to see screenshots to try and decipher what they were referring to, I have to click on the "feedback" tab, which takes me out of the main "review" flow. If I'm in the feedback tab and still unclear, I then have to jump back to the review tab in order to scroll through the training and see what they were referring to. This is so frustrating and not at all up to par with the rest of Articulate's features
Brilliant thank you Maria!
