Activity review helps you collaborate directly inside an activity. Instead of sharing feedback separately, you can comment exactly where something needs to change, reply in one place, and resolve comments as work gets done.
What is activity review?
Activity review is a built-in way to review an activity with context.
👀 Good to know
Feedback stays connected to the part of the activity it refers to. You do not need to explain where the issue is or copy feedback into another tool.
You can review content with your own team, and you can invite people from outside your team to review a single activity.
✏️ Tip
Want to bring a stakeholder, subject matter expert or client into a review? 👉 Invite someone to review an activity
Where can comments be added?
There are two levels of comments in activity review.
Activity-level comments
Template-level comments
Activity-level comments
Use an activity-level comment when your feedback applies to the whole activity.
For example:
the overall flow needs work
the tone is inconsistent from start to finish
the activity feels too long
the learning objective is unclear
👀 Good to know
This is best for feedback that is broader than one template.
Template-level comments
Use a template-level comment when your feedback relates to a specific part of the activity.
For example:
a paragraph needs rewriting
a title is unclear
a template feels repetitive
an image does not match the message
a question needs to be more engaging
👀 Good to know
This is best when you want to point to one exact place and keep the feedback tied to it.
Why contextual comments matter
The biggest value of activity review is context.
Every comment stays attached to the part of the activity it refers to. That means it is immediately clear:
what needs to change
where the change is needed
what the discussion is about
✏️ Tip
This reduces back and forth and makes review easier for everyone in your team!
What you can do with a comment
Each comment can become its own conversation.
Comment on the whole activity or on one specific template
Reply to a comment in an inline thread
Resolve a comment once it has been handled
Edit or delete your own comment or reply
Deleting only ever works on your own words. Nobody can delete someone else's comment, not even an admin.
👀 Good to know
Invited reviewers can read every comment on the activity and reply to all of them, but they can only resolve their own comments. Admins can resolve any comment.
Replying in a thread keeps the discussion in one place instead of spreading it across messages, documents or meetings.
This helps you:
keep the original feedback and replies together
ask follow-up questions without losing context
confirm when a change is agreed
avoid repeating the same discussion elsewhere
For example:
A reviewer adds a template-level comment: “This section feels too text-heavy.”
Someone replies: “Should we break this into two templates?”
Another reply adds: “Yes, and one of them could include a short quiz.”
The thread stays attached to that exact template until the change is handled.
That makes the decision easy to follow later.
How resolved comments help you track progress
Once a comment has been handled, it can be marked as resolved.
This helps the team separate:
which comments are still open and thus need work, and
which comments have already been addressed
Resolved comments make review easier to manage, especially when several people are involved or when an activity goes through multiple rounds of feedback.
Getting notified about comments
You do not have to keep checking the activity to see if something new came in. Activity review sends you an email when there is something you need to know.
The bell: follow an activity
Every comments panel has a notification bell. Switch it on for an activity and you get an email whenever someone posts a new comment there.
The bell works per activity, so if you follow four activities you manage four bells
If you invite someone to review an activity, the bell is switched on for you automatically
Invited reviewers are not followed automatically. They can switch their own bell on if they want to
Writing a comment does not make you follow an activity
👀 Good to know
You never get an email about your own comment. Every notification email also has an unsubscribe link at the bottom that stops the emails for that one activity.
Replies to your comments
If someone replies to a comment you wrote, you get an email about it. You do not need to follow the activity for this.
👀 Good to know
This one goes to the author of the comment only. Other people following the activity are not emailed about replies.
What does not send an email
To keep your inbox quiet, nothing is sent when:
a comment is resolved or unresolved
a comment or reply is edited or deleted
someone's review access is removed
someone is invited who already has access to that activity
There are no in-app notifications for activity review. The signal inside the platform is the count of unresolved comments you see on the templates and on the review overview.
The review overview
Everything you have been asked to review sits in one place.
Go to Content > Review
You see one tile per activity you have been asked to review, with its image, its format and the number of unresolved comments. Click a tile to open the activity and start reviewing.
✏️ Tip
Handy when you ping a colleague. Instead of sending them a list of links, you can just tell them their reviews are waiting under Content > Review.
A simple review workflow
Here is one way to use activity review in practice:
Open the activity you want to review
Leave an activity-level comment for broad feedback
Add template-level comments where specific changes are needed
Reply in threads to discuss details and agree on next steps
Make the updates
Mark comments as resolved once each issue is handled
Review what is still open before finalising the activity
This keeps the process clear from start to finish.
