You can invite reviewers — colleagues, subject matter experts or clients — to play your simulation and leave comments on any scene. Reviewers don't need a BranchTrack account. You manage reviewers and comments in the Review & Comment panel (comments icon) in the editor's left bar.
The simulation editor. Highlighted: the Review & Comment icon (speech bubbles) in the left bar, and the small comment icon above scene 1, which shows that this scene has unresolved comments.
Invite reviewers
In the editor, open the Review & Comment panel and go to the Reviewers tab.
In Invite people to review this project, type one or more email addresses, separated by commas.
Each reviewer gets an email from BranchTrack with a personal link to this simulation.
Your reviewers are listed under Invited reviewers, with the number of comments each one has left. Next to each reviewer you can resend the invitation (paper plane icon) or remove their access (minus icon). A reviewer whose access was removed is crossed out; the plus icon gives access back.
Each simulation can have up to 10 reviewers on the Free plan and up to 50 on paid plans.
The Review & Comment panel on the Reviewers tab. Highlighted: the field Invite people to review this project (“Type comma separated emails here…”) and the list of invited reviewers. anna.novak@example.com has left 1 comment and has resend and remove icons; maria.lopez@example.com is crossed out (access removed) with a plus icon to restore access.
What reviewers see
The link opens the simulation in the player, with an Add a comment button in the top right corner. Reviewers see the current scene number, can read earlier comments and add their own to any scene as they play. We recommend reviewing on a computer rather than a phone.
Read and resolve comments
All comments are visible to all reviewers and to everyone who can edit the simulation. You can add comments yourself too — for example, to reply to a reviewer or leave a note for a teammate.
Nobody can edit or delete a comment once it is posted.
When a comment is handled, mark it as resolved with the check icon next to it: in the scene's comments, on the Comments tab of the Review & Comment panel, or with Resolve in Insights. Resolved comments are crossed out; the arrow icon reopens them.
Resolve all resolves every comment at once, and Hide resolved hides the resolved ones.
The Comments tab of the Review & Comment panel. Comments are grouped by scene, each with a Go to link. Highlighted: Hide resolved and Resolve all at the top, and the two resolved (crossed-out) comments on scene #7 with arrow icons to reopen them. Scene #1 has three open comments from Anna Novak, Laura Smith and David Chen.
