Do reviewers need an account to comment?

No. Anyone with the link can comment as a named guest with no signup. They can sign in later with a magic code, which claims their guest comments into an account.

Can several people comment at once?

Yes. A canvas shows live cursors and presence, so you can see who else is viewing while everyone leaves anchored comments at the same time.

Can I reply to a comment?

Yes. Comments are threaded, so you can reply to anyone right on the pin. You can also reply and resolve threads from the command line with `drafty comments reply` and `drafty comments resolve`.

How can I comment on an AI-generated document?

Quick answer

Publish the document as a Drafty canvas, then click any element and leave a comment pinned to that exact spot. Anyone you share the link with can comment too, with no account needed.

Publish the document as a Drafty canvas, then click any element and leave a comment pinned to that exact spot. The comment stays anchored to that heading, paragraph, list item, image, table, or code block, so your feedback points at the thing it's about.

Anyone you share the link with can comment the same way, with no account needed. That works whether the document came from Claude, ChatGPT, or anywhere else, as long as it's an HTML or Markdown file.

The problem: no good way to give feedback on an AI doc

When Claude or ChatGPT hands you a long HTML or Markdown file, your options are usually rough. You paste it back with "change the third paragraph," screenshot it and circle things, or copy chunks into a doc to mark up. None of those point at the exact spot, and none of them let other people weigh in.

A Drafty canvas fixes that. The document becomes a real web page at a link, and comments attach to specific elements instead of floating in a chat.

Publish it as a canvas

Push the file with the Drafty CLI or the Claude Code plugin:

Sign in once with drafty login.
Run drafty canvas push report.html (or a .md file). The CLI reads the format from the file extension.
Open the drafty.im/canvas/<slug> link it prints.

If you're already in Claude Code, you can skip the commands and ask Claude to "drafty this file." Either way you get a shareable canvas. An HTML canvas keeps the author's own styles; a Markdown canvas renders as clean prose.

Click any element to leave an anchored comment

On the canvas, click the element you want to talk about and type your comment. It pins to that element, Figma-style, so anyone reading the thread knows what it refers to.

Every push saves a new version, and a comment stays anchored to its element even after you push an update. So you can comment, get a revised version, and your notes still line up with the right spots.

Threads, and guests can join

Comments are threaded, so you and your reviewers can reply back and forth on a single pin. Live cursors and presence show who else is on the canvas at the same time.

Reviewers don't sign up. They comment as a named guest, and if they want to keep their canvases and comments, they sign in later with a magic code, which claims everything into an account. If you'd rather work from the terminal, drafty comments inbox and drafty comments reply handle the same threads from the command line.
