Internal / External Comments

We aspire to make Punchlist a hub for all creative feedback - whether it’s a client reviewing a project before launch or a discussion between team members on what work is left to be done. When it comes to team discussions, sometimes you prefer to reach a conclusion internally before letting the client know (we’ve all been there). So we’re introducing team-only (internal) commenting! No longer will you need to create one Punchlist project for internal comments and another for external comments — everything can happen in one project.

When you’re a member of a Workspace (no matter your role), you’ll see a toggle that allows you to take a comment from public to private. When you do that, you’ll see a subtle shift in the color of the comment card, and the text will change from ‘Everyone’ to ‘Team Only’. Once you submit the comment, you’ll notice the color persists in the sidebar (as a visual cue the comment is private) and a lock icon in the bottom left.

Any replies or files uploaded to a private comment are also private. At this time, there is not a way to change a piece of feedback from public to private (or vice versa) once it’s been submitted.

Improvements

• Since the release of Punchlist 2.0, the location of markers on projects hasn’t been very reliable. We took a deep dive and rolled out improvements so that markers/dots aren’t jumping around anymore. Because we never want you to have to ask “what were they referring to in this comment?” again.
• We have a few folks beta testing a top-secret integration, and we made a few changes to improve their experience. If you want to give it a go before public launch, email support@punchlist.com.
• Our goal is to move work out of your inbox and into Punchlist, so some people found it distracting to get an email every time someone left feedback in their Punchlist project. We’ve now made instant notifications default off in all new accounts and workspaces. If you prefer as-it-happens updates, you can turn it on at the Workspace level or Project level.
• If you received a link to a project, but weren’t current logged into Punchlist, we made it difficult to log in and start leaving feedback. Now we give you a few options — either in the pop-up modal after you leave a comment or in the top right by clicking the avatar button.

Bug Fixes

• When someone mentions you in a comment, you get an email — which is helpful so you can hop into the conversation and keep work moving forward. However, we noticed that the screenshot showing where they made the comment wasn’t making it into the email. We fixed that.
• We fixed a few bugs related to project access settings. Namely, project owners weren’t able to change access level of a project they created, and restricted projects weren’t displaying on the dashboards of the project owner or invited users.
• Some of our Webflow users prefer to password protect individual pages on their site so only certain people can review them. Those pages weren’t working in Punchlist, but now they are! Thanks to Jamie Dowis of Virago Development for bringing this to our attention.
