Unless there's a way to indicate feedback by layer I am finding this review tool not to be of much use beyond a slide by slide review. Is Articulate working on this as a feature? I would switch tools in a heartbeat if it had this capability.
If you need to know what layer is showing for your screenshots during review, try adding something to the each of the layers that will tell you what layer is showing. Make it conditional on a variable, so that you can disable them all at once when your review is complete.
Articulate Review should take a screenshot of what the user is seeing when they submit their comment versus showing you a specific slide number or layer name. If you're not sure which layer they're viewing, a suggestion such as what Dave shared would be a good idea. If you have other thoughts on how you'd like to see Review capturing that information I'd love to know a bit more so that I could share it with our Product team!
My experience with this is that the screenshot only takes a photo of the first place you are on a slide when you add feedback. Switching to a different layer does not take a new screenshot. Is this by design? If the current layer showed when you add new feedback then that would be fine.
First, I just wanted to also give you a heads up that responding via email includes your signature here in ELH. You are welcome to visit the forum discussion and click on the "edit" below your post to remove that information. No worries on our part - just in case you don't want your information publicly!
I did a quick test of this, and here are my results so that you could see for yourself. The base layer is set to show for 10 seconds, layer 1 for 10 seconds and then layer 2 for 5 seconds. I had some colleagues give it a test and they commented what they were seeing. You can take a look at this here. I did notice on a first test myself that the image and comment got out of sync once, but I'm thinking that had more to do with my internet connection as my colleagues both had it appear normally.
If you've got a Review link we can check out we'd be happy to give it a test - also helpful if you can indicate on the slide when we're seeing a new layer and that way we'll know to comment at that time!
Hi David, thanks so much for your email. Please find attached my government zip module. I don't have a sit so I attached it here as suggested. Thanks so much.
This is a module I did on markers which will have the same issue because I also used a temp link. I'll leave it here so you can add it on the markers recap if you think it's good?

Okay, I know my tests showed a different result but I will try it again.

And this is another one I did working with layers, sliders and the timeline.
