Comments pinned to elements, a chat you can steer, and reviews that use the product
A comment now attaches to the exact control it is about, so feedback names the screen and the button rather than a URL. Runner chat takes edits, queued messages and images. Design reviews use the product instead of screenshotting it.
- Comments pinned to the element they are aboutImproved
The widget outlines the control under the cursor, pins the comment to it and crops the screenshot around it. A digest now says "the Change plan button on Billing settings" instead of a route fragment, and hash-routed apps get feedback per screen.
Widget documentation - Comments that keep up with your releasesNew
Every comment records the page version it was left on, and the review screen lays them out as a timeline you can filter. Declare a version with data-sd-version and choose what a release does to older comments.
- Steer Runner while it is answeringImproved
Type while an answer streams and it queues, or send it now to redirect the run. Press up to edit and re-run an earlier message, use /compact to shorten a long conversation, and paste images straight into the composer.
- Design reviews that use the productImproved
A review now opens menus and follows the flow as your default actor, with that actor’s sign-in, tools and knowledge. If the request is ambiguous, you get one question back in the Slack thread.
Design review in Slack - Rules built from what you already shipImproved
Fill the Guidelines library from a published Storybook or a GitHub repository, so findings cite your real components, variants and tokens. Apply rules to design reviews in bulk.
- Interview films short enough to watchImproved
A synthesised round now runs two to five minutes, with narration written to fit. The finished film is one click from the interview.
- Workers that wake up with your laptopImproved
A device worker reconnects on its own after a dropped heartbeat, so closing the lid no longer leaves a dead entry in the list.
Self-hosted workers - Smaller things across the productImproved
Attach up to five images in the Feedback dialog and send with Cmd/Ctrl + Enter. The command bar ranks results as you type, inbox items link straight to their run, and the Mac app shows release notes as text.
- Fewer stuck runsImproved
A participant that times out is cancelled and tidied up instead of sitting in progress. Scheduled work wakes when it is due, and every error is ticketed with its context and trace.
