Highlighting text for comments in Review 360
Hi all,
we would like to use Review 360 more but we're missing a way to highlight text/words or mark anything in a lesson to show on which part the comment is relating to. You always see a preview of the whole lesson in the comment, but sometimes it's hard to allocate the part on which the comment is related to. Of course, you could upload a screenshot with a highlight but if there are several comments and e.g. spelling mistakes on a page, this is not a very useful workflow.
Am I missing something or is there any workaround for this?
Thanks in advance.
Heidi
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.

Is this still on the roadmap for future updates? Our sponsors are requesting this feature, and are not a fan of the current review process because they have to clarify any edits they want made instead of being able to highlight something specific and leave comments.
Hello MDelaney,
Thanks for following up! This feature hasn’t risen to the top of our list yet, but I’ve shared your need with our product team so they’re aware of its impact on your workflow.
We’ll be sure to update you here if there are any changes that might help with this.
I've been looking for an answer to this same issue. I take it there are no new features that help you see what text/section of a lesson comments relate to? If not, could I add my voice to this as a much needed enhancement. I'm having to arrange a follow-up meeting with my reviewers to clarify their feedback which is wasting their time (and mine). Uploading screenshots as mentioned above isn't efficient either.
A bump to include this option asap.
Some inspiration from how we initiate translation review
1. First the E-learning is created in English and tested.
2. The translation is exported. Two options are avaliable, none of them are working ideally.
1) Export to word and translate the colomn translation. Biggest issue is that variables are also translated using machine translation (the %menu.slides...%). This messes up the variable in the new E-learning.
2) export XLIFF file. Articulate only has version 2.0 and DeepL needs version 2.1. There is a workaround which works. Changing the version to 2.1 in editing notepad.
3. Import translation. Saving the E-learning, checking and adjusting formatting.
4. Repeat this for all translations.
5. Publish to Review 360 and sent link to native speaking colleagues for review.
Feeback from the colleagues is that it's hard to post comments. Now they make a comment: change <oldtext> into <new text>. Very time consuming and then I need to manually process the new text.
Most ideal situation is to have it directly changed in the .story file without the need of a license.
I have the same need. I'm making specific recommendations, and because the text in question isn't highlighted, my authors can be confused about what to revise.
Please keep this on the roadmap. Review would be incredible useful with this one change. In the meantime, I have to come up with a workaround (right now, I have to have a review session where I explain the comments).
Thank you!
Hi, Wayne!
Thanks so much for checking in. We don't have any news to share at this time. We'll be sure to update this discussion when we have any news for you all in the future!
In the meantime, I'm curious to hear how others in our talented community have approached their reviewing process. Perhaps they can provide some inspiration!
Hi, Maria.
Any update? This is such a crucial feature for reviewing.
Thanks.
Hi, Heidi.
Thank you for reaching out!
While not currently a feature in Review 360, we have a feature request logged to allow reviewers to annotate directly on a screenshot of a course.
I will update this discussion if I have any news to share or if this request makes it to our feature roadmap.
