1. How To Submit A Revision

When your design request has been completed, open the request page by going to Requests and clicking on the name of your completed request.

Once there, review the delivered designs and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find a text field where you can enter a message with your revision notes.

While this method works well enough for simple revisions, using our annotation tool works better for more lengthy or detailed revision notes. Read further to learn how to annotate your revision feedback.


2. How To Annotate On A File Or Asset

Step 1

Select the file you want to review and leave your comments on. You can only comment on the following file types: JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, PDF

Step 2

Zoom in or pan across the creative asset, then click the +NEW button or hold SHIFT.

Step 3

Drag your cursor to highlight a portion of the image you want to annotate, then type in your comment. Click OK to save it.

Step 4

Click on Send Updates to Creative button to save your annotation notes and submit your feedback/revisions!


3. How To Annotate An Uploaded Image Or Stock Asset

You can easily add files or select from our stock libraries and annotate on top of them before sending them to your designer. It’s quick and easy!

Simply click on +Add Files or +Add Assets and select the image you want to upload.

Once your image is selected, you may follow the steps from 1. Annotate on a Design File above!


4. How To Annotate A Presentation Design

The process is slightly different for Presentation Designs, but don't worry, we've also got you covered and listed the instructions below.

Step 1

Scroll down to the bottom of the request's page. Click on the Request Revision button.

Step 2

The Comments Textfield will appear, but in order to see the annotation tool, click on the +Add comments to delivered files button.

Step 3

You can then select the slides you want to add annotations on. Your comments will be listed on the right side of the screen.

Step 4

Once you're done with your annotations, scroll down and click the Send Response button to send the annotations and revision feedback to your designer!


5. How To Delete An Annotation

Step 1

Click on the annotation you'd like to delete.

Step 2

Click on the arrow down icon, then the Delete option from the drop-down menu. Next, click the OK button.

That's all there is to it!


6. How Many Revisions Do I Get?

You get as many revisions as you need! Just remember, each revision counts as a new creative round and may affect the delivery timelines of other pending/active requests.
