Better Whitelabeling
Right now your white labeling is a semi-whitelabel. I’d love to be able to enter my own SMTP servers information for outbound emails where I can customize the From Name and From Email address. The main reason for this for me, is my clients get these emails as well as my design team. I’m sure my design team has other clients that use BugSmash as well, so I’m sure it can be confusing if they are on multiple BugSmash projects across multiple clients. So this ability to customize the activity emails would be extremely beneficial.

Status Options
The new status option “Pending” is confusing. I prefer the previous “For Review” or something like that. It is unclear if it is pending for the reviewer or for the contractor.

Blank sharing url
Hi, I’ve just uploaded a PDF project, and when I go to share it, the sharing URL and the embed URL is blank - so it would be better if sharing was only available when it’s been fully uploaded. Also, in this feedback tool, it gives the option of taking a screenshot, but I need to click on something before I take the screenshot, so it would be good if you could just upload an image.

Not moving to the comment
When I approve a comment, the right pane automatically loads the next one — which is great. The problem is I can't click that comment to jump to it. Nothing happens when I click it (see comment 21 in the screenshot). To actually open it, I have to click the back arrow next to "Reply," return to the full comments list, and click the comment from there. It would be much smoother if clicking the comment in the right pane took me straight to it.

Ability to share direct links to comments
Hi, I'm working with my clients in BugSmash and there's one feature I'm currently missing. Some of my clients don't create an account, so they don't receive notifications. When I reply to their feedback, I usually send them an email asking them to check my response. However, it would be really helpful if I could copy a direct link to a specific comment and include it in the email. This way, the client would immediately know which comment I'm referring to and could jump directly to the relevant discussion instead of having to search for it manually. Is this something you have considered adding, or is there already a way to do it that I may have missed? Thanks!

Email notifications issue
Hi, I have notifications set up in my workspace but have only received a notification when I assigned myself to a comment, and also a summary at the end of the day. There was no notification for guest comments, and no notifications for replies in those comments even after I was assigned to them. I have confirmed and resaved my email notification settings and I have checked the spam folder on the mail server.

Display Original Image Filename in Photo Reviews
When reviewing image galleries with clients, it would be extremely helpful if the original image filename could be visible to project owners or admins within the photo preview. Currently, clients can simply comment things like "Photo 4" or "I prefer number 12," which is great because it keeps the review process simple for them. However, on the backend, there is no easy way for me to identify which original file corresponds to the selected image. As a result, I have to manually compare and search through all uploaded photos, which becomes very time consuming when working with larger galleries. My suggestion would be: Keep the client experience simple and unchanged. Optionally display the original filename for project owners, admins, or internal team members. Show the filename somewhere within the image preview or in the details panel Alternatively, provide a toggle to show/hide original filenames. This would significantly speed up photo selection workflows, reduce manual work, and make it much easier to identify which images clients have chosen for editing, retouching, or final delivery. For photographers, designers, agencies, and content creators working with large image sets, this would be a major workflow improvement.

Add Filter by Commenter
If a user in the comment waterfall of the agency comments after the main comment was issued it is not easy possible to find only his comments (for him or others) later on as they are replys zo the main comment. So it would be perfect to get some more filters for the commenting section like “person in comments” and person in reply” and “person” (in comments + replys). Thanks for thinking on this Have a great day! Best regards Carsten

Edit Uploaded Files later in the process of a version
I have the following usecase nearly in every project all the time: As versioning is not in all cases possible (like if a page is behind a login screen) we use PDFs for commenting. But take it as Commenting PDFs. After screenshottinng a website the team starts to comment. All of a sudden there was an error or a small thing that needed an exchange of the file in the process of reviewing there is no way of changing the file. This is really annoying as i can not tell my clients that i can not change this “small thing” and all the reviewed work will get lost. So eg. in the case of the PDF - sometimes there are additional pages like show the state of a acordeon in an faq open. I see this while working and can not add additional pages to the base pdf. To me that got crucial by now as i had that problem so often in the process. Thanks for putting such a important feature on the roadmap asap. Best regards and stay safe! Carsten

Issue: Pen Tool Positioning on PDFs
There seems to be a problem with the pen tool when annotating PDFs. When drawing with the pen on a PDF, the actual drawing is not displayed directly at the cursor position, but instead appears a few centimeters above it. This makes precise annotations very difficult and frustrating. Additionally, when changing the PDF view size, for example switching between a smaller and larger PDF window or resizing the view, the annotations no longer stay correctly attached to the PDF itself. The pen strokes shift and appear in different positions than where they were originally drawn. The annotations should remain locked and accurately mapped to the PDF coordinates regardless of zoom level or window resizing.

Per‑asset versioning inside multi‑asset projects
Hi BugSmash team, first of all, I really like your tool and the way projects and versions work for single assets (one website, one PDF, one image, etc.). However, in real client work there is one major limitation for me: handling multiple variants inside one project. Typical use case 1 – Logos When I design a logo, I often present several logo concepts in parallel, for example 5 logo options in one round for the client. I upload all 5 logos so the client can comment directly on them. The client might only request changes on 2 of those 5 logos. If I now upload a “new version” of the project, the entire project gets a new global version number, even though only 2 logos have actually changed. This makes it hard to compare “Logo 2 – old vs. Logo 2 – new” directly on a per‑logo basis, because the versioning is tied to the whole project, not to each individual asset. Typical use case 2 – multiple layout proposals The same happens with website layouts: I might present 3 layout proposals (A, B, C) in one project so the client can compare and comment on all of them. Later I only revise layout B and C, not A. Again, a single project version number for everything is not ideal, and it becomes confusing if we want to do precise before/after comparisons per layout. What I would love to see I would really appreciate a feature that allows per‑asset versioning inside a project when a project contains multiple images (or screens). In other words: A project can hold multiple assets (e.g. Logo 1, Logo 2, Logo 3, Logo 4, Logo 5). Each asset can have its own versions (Logo 2 – V1, V2, V3), with direct visual comparison between versions of that specific asset. The project itself is then more like a “container” for related assets, but the version logic works on the level of each asset, not only on the whole project. From my perspective, this would avoid the need to create a separate project for every single logo or layout variation, which quickly becomes messy for clients. At the same time, it seems conceptually close to what you already do for single‑asset projects with version comparison, just applied per asset instead of globally. Is this something you could consider adding to your roadmap? For agencies and designers who work with multiple concepts in parallel (logo sets, layout sets, visual explorations), this would make BugSmash much more practical. Thank you very much for considering this and for your great support. Best regards,

Make the guest experience login-free — fix buttons that trigger the login pop-up, add an option to hide all login prompts, and fix the banner overlap
Description: When a guest reviewer opens a shared link, they currently encounter login prompts in multiple places — even when "No Signup Required" is enabled. This adds friction and can scare off less tech-savvy or older clients, who get confused by anything that looks like a forced sign-up. It's about client literacy and keeping the guest experience clean. There are three parts to this request: 1. Disable the buttons that trigger the login pop-up (for guests): Currently, clicking "Assign" ("Not Assigned") or "Mark as resolved" (the checkmark) opens the "Log in to stay in the loop" pop-up. The "Set Priority" button already handles this nicely — it's disabled for guests and shows a tooltip ("Set Priority – Contact project owner to update") instead. Please apply the same behavior to Assign and Mark as resolved. 2. Add an option to fully hide login prompts from guests: Project owners should be able to toggle off, at the workspace or project level, all login pop-ups and the persistent login banner shown to guests. The goal: open link → leave feedback, with zero login prompts anywhere. Owners who want to introduce BugSmash account features to their clients can do so on their own terms. 3. Fix the login banner overlap bug (for owners who keep the banner enabled): The persistent "Log in to stay in the loop" banner currently renders behind the large logo (here replaced with a screenshot of “Workspace Settings”), making it hard to read and click/dismiss. It needs proper z-index/positioning so it stays usable when banner display is enabled.

Feature Request: Automatic Task Assignment via Project Owner + Inline Assignee Selection
As a managing director working across multiple projects, it would be extremely helpful to define a responsible person for each project. Once a project owner is assigned, any feedback or tasks created by me or the client should automatically be assigned to that person. Currently, I have to manually assign each task, which takes time. Additionally, it would significantly improve the workflow if the assignee could be selected directly while creating the task or comment, instead of only being able to assign it after the comment has been submitted (see attached image). This would streamline task management, reduce manual steps, and ensure faster and clearer ownership across the team. Key Benefits: Saves time by removing manual task assignment Ensures clear responsibility for every project Improves team efficiency and accountability Reduces friction in the feedback workflow
