## Open a supported image

Choose an image attachment to open the review surface. Use the available zoom and view controls before commenting on spacing, crop, alignment, or small text.

## Write feedback that survives the screenshot

- Name the exact area or element
- Explain the change and the reason behind it
- Separate required changes from optional ideas
- Use one comment for one decision when possible
- Confirm the accepted direction in the request brief when it changes scope

## Download the source when preview is not enough

Previews are for recognition and review. Download the original when you need to inspect layers, production settings, embedded fonts, or another detail the browser preview cannot preserve.

## Use pins for location and comments for decisions

Place an annotation on the exact visual area, then describe the intended change and reason. Use the request conversation for feedback that applies to the whole asset, several screens, or the overall direction. This keeps local fixes separate from broader decisions.

## Review the right version

Check the filename and surrounding request activity before annotating. If a newer image replaces the one you opened, move unresolved direction into a current comment rather than relying on a pin attached to an older version.

## FAQ

### Why does the preview look different from the source file?

Browser previews can change color, fonts, animation, or production detail. Download the original when those properties are part of the review.

### When should I use an annotation instead of a general comment?

Use an annotation when the location matters, such as a crop, alignment, or line of copy. Use a general comment for direction that applies to the whole asset or request.

### How do I avoid reviewing the wrong version?

Open the attachment from the current request activity, check its filename and time, and name the version in your feedback. Download the source when preview fidelity affects the decision.
