Comments and annotations

Users can create and review comments within an asset. You can tag other users (with the proper provisions) so that they're notified when you comment on the asset. 

Comments and annotations are only visible on the specific resource where they're made. This means that if a user comments on an asset at the Brandfolder level, the comment only appears at that level and isn't visible at the Collection or share link levels.

Comment on an asset

1. Open the asset you want to comment on and navigate to the Workflow tab at the top right.
2. On the left-hand side, choose an Attachment and select Leave a comment in the version timeline on the right.
3. Type your comment and choose Post.

The comment appears on the right-hand side of the screen.

Delete a comment

To remove a comment from an asset:

1. Open the asset and navigate to the Workflow tab at the top right.
2. Locate the comment in the version timeline on the right.
3. Select the three-dot menu and then Delete.

Annotate an asset

To annotate the asset directly:

1. Select the image you want to direct attention to.
2. Leave a note.
3. Select Post. 

The annotations appear in the comments and on the image when the corresponding number is selected. They automatically show up in numerical order. Additionally, you can filter by age, author, and type.

Annotations on multi-page documents are only possible on the first page. To annotate each page, upload it as a separate file.

Guest commenting

Guest users can comment and annotate on attachment versions, and users may mention guest users in their comments.

To allow Guest commenting, an Admin user needs to:

1. Navigate to Settings > General Settings.
2. Go to the Advanced tab.
3. Toggle the Allow guest commenting option to enable guest commenting.

Activating guest commenting applies to Brandfolders and Collections.
