Comment on shared projects

Preview mode lets people outside your Slickplan account review a shared project and leave feedback without signing in. Reviewers can add general project comments or attach feedback to pages, content blocks, diagrams and design mockups.

Enable comments in preview mode

  1. Open the project General settings.
  2. Select Share settings.
  3. Turn on Allow comments in preview mode.
  4. To let reviewers see existing comments without adding new ones, select View-only comments.
  5. Save the settings.
  6. Select Share in the project navigation to copy or open the preview link.

Identify yourself as a reviewer
