Adding and Managing Comments

Add, mention, attach, reply to, resolve, filter, search and export comments pinned to views and locations in a Snaptrude model.

Comments let your team and stakeholders leave feedback directly on a Snaptrude model. Each comment is pinned to the view and location where it was added, so anyone reading it sees exactly what it refers to. Use comments to review designs, bring teammates into a discussion with @mentions and keep a record of feedback.

Add a comment from the Comments tab

  1. Open your project and click the Comments tab at the top of the right panel.

  2. Go to the view or element you want to comment on.

  3. Click Add Comment at the spot in the model where the comment should sit. A comment box opens.

  4. Type your message.

  5. Press Enter to post the comment.

Add a comment from the Right-click menu

You can drop a comment at a spot without opening the Comments tab first.

  1. Right-click an empty area of the canvas, at the place you want to comment on.

  2. Select Add Comment. The comment box opens at your cursor's position.

  3. Type your message and press Enter.

Tip: The empty-canvas Right-click menu also has Show All, Zoom Extents, Select Previous, Select All, Undo/Redo and Recent Commands (your last three commands). Right-clicking an object opens that object's menu instead.

Mention a teammate

  1. In the comment box, type @ followed by the person's name.

  2. Select them from the list.

  3. Finish your message and press Enter.

Each person you mention gets an email notification with a direct link to the model.

Attach files or add emojis

  1. In the comment box, click the attachment icon to add a file. You can also add emojis.

  2. Press Enter to post the comment.

You can also use @mentions and attachments in replies.

Reply to a comment

  1. Click the comment you want to reply to.

  2. Type your reply.

  3. Press Enter.

Edit or delete a comment

  1. Click the three-dot menu next to the comment.

  2. Select Edit or Delete.

View all comments in a project

  1. Open the Comments tab in the right panel. It lists every comment in the project.

  2. Click any comment in the list. Snaptrude takes you to the view and location where it was added.

Resolve or reopen a comment

  1. To close a comment, switch on the Resolve toggle next to it. The comment moves to the Resolved category in the Comments tab.

  2. To bring it back, open the Resolved category and click Reopen. The comment returns to the active list.

Sort, filter and search comments

Use these controls in the Comments tab when a project has many comments:

  • Sort: use the sorting options to change the order comments appear in.

  • Filter: show only comments that match criteria such as commenter, story or date posted.

  • Search: type a keyword or phrase in the search bar to find matching comments.

Export comments

To keep a record of feedback outside Snaptrude, export all the comments in a project:

  1. Click the project name at the top left to open the project menu.

  2. Select Export > Comment History.
