Link feedback comment to slide

It'd be nice if the comments went to the exact block they're referring to. Usually, I have to hunt around for a while before I can find what the review was referencing. 

can't believe this hasn't been added. Discussion started many years ago! Now I am running into the same issue. I get an email alert so I go to Review...I can see the comment and thumbnail but with a course that has hundreds of slides it takes time to figure out where the comment was made! Either more info needs to be included with the comment or a direct link.

I cannot figure out Articulate as a software provider. The software overall is amazing. The help forums are top notch and the people are friendly and helpful.

But when it comes to actually implementing feature changes - especially features that are so obvious and expected that they should be considered "Missing" - well, there is a defensiveness that borders on arrogance. Or even worse, a doubling down on NOT addressing the feature out of spite.

Seriously, I use several other video and media hosting and review services and they ALL have 'click on the thumbnail' to go to the relevant section of the media. Review360 is CRIPPLED and inferior by refusing to have this feature. And this thread is FIVE FREAKIN' YEARS old.

The first response was the most telling:
"In order for Articulate Review to support hopping into the content on click, we'd need to add a feature to our desktop authoring tools (Storyline and Studio) to support jumping to a specific slide, almost like an anchor tag on a web page. That's a cool thought and we'll consider it!"

Well, my thoughts on that are, how does SL NOT have that capability already???? I don't know how capable the programmers are at Articulate, but that feature is such an obvious EXPECTED feature and NEED that I was stupified that it wasn't already there. I know its been requested as a feature, and discussed online continually for MANY YEARS. And again their seems to be a DETERMINATION NOT to accommodate requests to fix it.

Here's something that may be helpful if Articulate wants to keep its customer base from jumping the MOMENT a suitable competitor appears:

When dozens and dozens of developers request the same functionality it means that a multitude more would like and use it; but just don't have time to comment in a forum about it.

And if its such a no-brain, expected feature and you react to each mention of it is as though you have never heard of such a strange and outlandish request and cannot imagine how it would be useful; it makes you look condescending, disingenuous, and ultimately antagonistic.

I don't care how busy you are on other, more important programming tasks. It doesn't take 5 years to add anchor capability to an authoring package. Every other competing stand-alone authoring environment and cloud-based authoring service already has the feature - because it is so obvious that it should have been in version 0.1 alpha.

Absolutely abysmal response on Articulate's part. I just scrolled through this post I've been contributing to for two years and the responses from staff are insulting at best. Zero understanding of what is being asked here.

It's terrible that my first thought was "Ray must be new here". There is so much functionality that users have asked for that I'm certain we'll never see. Like many of the requested 'features', this one is *so basic* that it's shocking they even released Review without. It's so embarrassing to tell a new reviewer that it doesn't work that way in the email, much less on the review site.

I agree 100% and have already gave up on requesting anything, as IF they are done, they usually take years to be implemented.  Each time Articulate 360 tells me that there is an update I used to get excited and quickly click to check what was fixed or added, to then see insignificant and mostly useless bugs fixed.

Unfortunately the competition is worse, so I choose to keep using the software.  Seems to be the 'curse' of eLearning software.

Add to that, that I am on a mac running it in a vitrual machine (since it's inception) because no Mac or Web version exists... or will ever exist.  So feeling pretty hopeless here.  But yeh, I understand that I am probably one of 5 or 6 people that use a Mac to design things... :( 

My rant comes from many years of frustrations, and they sadly cast a shadow on the good things the software has and Articulate does, but I guess it always works like that.  You get excited for new things added but then you forget and expect things to work as they should.  But the things that don't, bug you every day you use the software. 

Hello, what is the status with implementation of this feature? It's a really needed (and long overdue) one
