Collaborate Easier with Comments

To add a comment, right-click on any shape and choose "Add Comment."

Alternatively, select a shape, go to the Insert tab and click on "Comment."

When a user adds a comment, the name they're logged in with and time of the comment will be preserved and added to a comment stream.

You can see all the comments on a shape by clicking on the blue comment icon in the lower right of the shape.

You can also access all the shapes with comments in a diagram using the Comments Tab.

Once comments have been added to your diagram, a Comments tab will appear in the SmartPanel to the left of your drawing area.

The Comments tab will show the latest comment on every shape in the document that has a comment. Each comment in this panel represents a shape in the diagram.

Only the latest comment is shown for each shape.

You can navigate between shapes by clicking on a comment in the panel.

Selecting a comment will open a pop up showing you the entire comment thread over the relevant shape.

Comments are just one piece of what makes SmartDraw an ideal tool for collaborating with your team.

You can easily share diagrams with your team using shared folders or by emailing them a link.

Once a diagram is shared, you team members can read comments and add their own.

SmartDraw also works with some of the common tools you may already be using to work together like Google Drive^™, Confluence, OneDrive^®, and more. Read about all of SmartDraw's integrations here.
