Your client wrote three paragraphs of feedback. One click would have done it.
An annotation tool lets a reviewer click any element — a heading, a paragraph, a button — and leave a note pinned right there. Share a Drafty link and your client annotates the exact spot, on their phone or desktop, with no account and nothing to install.
The feedback you're getting today
Scattered across chat — every note a guess at which version, which element.
Every message here is a comment that belonged on the artifact. In Drafty they tap the exact spot and the note pins there — threaded, on one link that's always the current version. No “which one,” no screenshots, no “FINAL.html.”
How it works
Share a link to any deliverable
Drop a doc, PDF export, or design into Drafty and send one link. Your client opens it in any browser — no account, no extension, no "can you resend that file."
They click the exact element
Your client hovers the headline, the table, the section they mean — clicks once — and a note pins there. Not a screenshot with an arrow. Not "the third paragraph." The actual spot.
Every note lands in one thread
Each annotation is anchored and open to reply. You see every comment in context, resolve each one as you go, and nothing gets buried in an email chain.
Why people switch
- Client sends a screenshot with a red circle and three sentences trying to locate it
- Client won't create an account or download a plugin to leave feedback
- Feedback spread across email, iMessage, and a voice note
- Element-anchored comments — Each note pins to the exact element — no deciphering where they meant
- Guest commenting on a shared link — They click the link, click the element, type the note — nothing to install
- One threaded review board per deliverable — All annotations in one place, each pinned to the spot it belongs to
Who it's for
Send the client a link to the brand doc. They annotate the exact logo treatment they want changed — not a paragraph guessing which one you mean.
Share the strategy doc with the stakeholder. They pin a note to the section they want cut. You resolve it, they see it — done.
Drop your spec or design into a thread. Testers comment on the exact screen they're confused by — before you build the wrong thing.
Questions
- What is an annotation tool?
- An annotation tool lets you or a reviewer click on a specific element — a word, an image, a button — and leave a note pinned to it. Instead of describing where a change belongs, you mark the exact spot. For design review, this replaces the back-and-forth of "the bit near the top" emails.
- Does my client need an account to annotate?
- No. With Drafty, your client opens the link and annotates as a guest — no signup, no login, no extension. They click the element, type the note, and it appears in your thread immediately.
- What file types can I annotate?
- Drafty works on any artifact you can share as a link — a doc, a PDF export, a design screenshot, or a live website. If you can paste the URL or drop the file, reviewers can annotate it.
- How is this different from leaving comments in a PDF?
- PDF comments stay in the file. Drafty pins annotations to a shared link — so your client, a second reviewer, and you all see the same thread, resolved or open, without emailing versions of the file back and forth.
- Can more than one person annotate the same deliverable?
- Yes. Everyone uses the same link — each person's annotations land in one shared thread, anchored to the element they clicked. You see all feedback in context, not scattered across inboxes.
- What happens to the annotations after I make the changes?
- You resolve each comment as you go — it stays visible as a record but is marked done. Push a new version on the same link and your client sees the update right there, with the resolved notes still attached.
