Best practices

1. Leave comments in context. Attach comments directly to the element they're about — not to a general area of the page. A comment on the exact button, heading, or image makes it much faster for your Designer to find and address. General page-level comments create ambiguity about what actually needs to change.
   
   
2. Tag teammates when you need a response. If a comment needs action from a specific person, tag them with @. Otherwise it can sit unnoticed in a busy thread. Tagging makes the ask explicit and creates a notification so nothing gets missed.
   
   
3. Resolve comments when they're addressed. Unresolved comments accumulate quickly. Once a change has been made, mark the comment as resolved so the thread stays clean and it's easy to see what still needs attention.
   
   
4. Know when to comment and when to escalate. Comments work well for specific, addressable feedback (e.g. a copy change, a broken link, a layout question, etc.). If something requires a broader conversation about direction or scope, take it to Slack or a meeting rather than a comment thread. Comments aren't the right tool for every kind of discussion.

Design approvals (for Enterprise)

Enterprise teams have access to design approvals — a formal workflow that lets Reviewers (and other roles) approve or request changes on page branches before they're merged and published. If your team uses page branching, you may be asked to approve changes in page branches.

Learn more about design approvals in the Webflow Help Center.

Sharing access with outside reviewers

Not everyone who needs to review your site has a Webflow account. For external partners, clients, or stakeholders who only need to look and respond, you can share a comment-only link — a direct link that lets anyone view the site and leave comments without signing up for Webflow.

This is useful for one-off or occasional reviewers who don't need ongoing access to the workspace.

Practice activity

Time to try it yourself. Open any Webflow site you have Reviewer access to (or ask your Designer to share a comment-only link) and complete the following:

1. Leave a comment on a specific element on the page — be as specific as possible about what you're calling out.
2. Reply to an existing comment in the thread.
3. Resolve a comment that has been addressed.

If you don't have access to a site yet, reach out to your Designer or Admin and ask them to share a comment-only link so you can get started.
