Is it possible to set Articulate Review to hide other people's comments?
Also would like to perform a pool review independently of SMEs. Has there been any headway on making reviews private or invisible to other reviewers?
Hi JamesParker-ebe ,
Thanks for adding your use case here!
We know this is a common need, especially when running separate SME and broader reviewer passes, and this request has been shared with our product team based on ongoing community feedback like yours. While we don’t have updates to share on timing or roadmap placement, comments like this help reinforce the impact and importance of the feature.
We’ll be sure to update this discussion if there’s any movement here.
Hello JamesParker-ebe
Just out of curiosity, I did a quick little test to confirm that everything is working as I thought it would.
In your case, would it be feasible to create one Review for the SME pool, and another Review if necessary for... the others? (Okay, it's not ideal if there are also others, and others, and others). The advantage is that you can gather all these comments (without mixing them up and sharing them in the Reviews) with the option to import Comments into the .story file. There is then a button to select the comments that appear on the side depending on whether they come from the SME Review only, the Review for others only or the Review number 3 only, etc. They are all there but not mixed up.
Sometimes, a single Review with hundreds of comments (I only had 100 comments once, but something was already wrong with the client!), multiplied by 2, 3, or 4 sources, can become completely unmanageable, in my opinion.
