When I upload a Word document to BugSmash, I cannot select and copy text directly from the document in the preview view. It would be extremely useful if users could highlight and copy text from Word documents without having to download and open them in another application. This would make reviewing documents and providing feedback much faster and more convenient.

When I open a Word document and add a comment, the document in the background becomes blurred. However, I often need to read parts of the document while dictating my feedback. This is currently difficult because the blurred content is no longer readable. Could you please add a toggle that allows users to switch between a blurred and a visible document while recording or adding a comment? This would make the feedback process significantly easier and more efficient.

It would be very helpful to add an integration with Teamwork (https://www.teamwork.com/). We have been using this tool to project management tool, that we find more robust and more competitive than other tools.

Is there a way to make it more visible whether a comment has been set to private or public without clicking into the comment settings (three dots)? I would like to be able to tell at a glance which comments my reviewer will be able to see without opening the review link in an Incognito Browser. Additionally, would it be possible to add public/private to the filter menu within the file?

Is there a way to vertically scroll a file for review instead of having to click to turn the page like for a PDF instead of having to click to turn the page and review one at a time could we have one long scroll of all the pages?

Sometimes on a project I dont want people to see the other users I have, I want to be able to only assign people per project and have them selectable in the assigning list, not everyone. So right now im considering deleting all my staff so a consultant cant see their names. Security/ Assigned Users for Allocation/ Assigning.

The Export feature that allows us to download comments in markdown to feed into an AI agent, it's freaking awesome!!! Seriously so cool, and it's saving us tons of time and buku bucks! One small request though, the exported markdown doesn't seem to preserve bold (or italic) text, line/paragraph breaks, or bullet points. When manually reviewing the work done by our AI agents per the exported comments, it consistently seems to miss these three things. I asked Claude if it could see paragraph breaks or newlines in a comment that I know has them, and it answered point blank "no".

Please add the option to filter comments by "no user assigned" or "no priority set". This would make it much easier to find new comments that haven't been seen / touched by our team yet. Currently, the filters only select filtering by assigned users or set priority, but on a website that has +200 comments, this doesn't really work because we're constantly having to scroll down past 200 comments to get to the newest ones, and if we accidentally click into one of the comments, it resets the scroll position which auto scrolls us back to the top of the list and we have to scroll AAAAALLLL the way back down past all 200 comments again just to finally select and assign a user / priority to the new comments. It's a big pain point.

The current 1 GB individual file size limit on video uploads is a major bottleneck for professional video production and high-quality creative review workflows. Even short 4K drafts or uncompressed ProRes exports easily exceed 1 GB, forcing editors to aggressively compress files just to get client feedback. Please consider raising this individual file cap for higher-tier users. Note: Users could compensate their storage limits with the "Bring Your Own S3 Storage" [BYOS3] request currently in review

Collaborators should be able to see their own assigned comments in private mode. This would allow for better collaboration and separation of tasks. Also emails should go to the assigned task holder.

Hello. One of my client's sites is returning a 403 error. I have whitelisted the IP addresses through our security plugin and have spoken to my hosting platform, Siteground, and they assure me the site is not blocking Bugsmash IP addresses. They said "The program is using a script that requires a user agent to execute the script. The user agent for the program needs to be updated to Chrome 149 at least so that it is able to work." I  have multiple sites on Bugsmash that are also on my Siteground server that are not returning this error so I can't figure out why just this one is. Can you help with this?

Thanks for adding the feature that moves to the next comment when a comment is approved. It would be great to have an on/off toggle for this inside the file/project settings. Here's why: different people often comment on the same file. For example, Person X might leave 20 comments across 10 pages, then Person Y adds more afterward. When I approve a comment, it jumps straight to the next page — even if there are still unapproved comments left on the current page. thank you!

Hello! Firstly, we love what you guys have built!! It's totally changed the way we work with clients to collect and implement feedback!! One notable issue, we've noticed that whenever we update the website in a way that causes content to shift positions, the pin stays fixed; it doesn't shift with the updated content. Obviously, the screenshot solves this problem, but it still causes confusion while reviewing comments and changes during client calls. Is there some way to associate the clicked component with a key or ID, instead of just the pixel position and css selector? Either that or a similar solution so that the pin can intelligently shift when the page is altered! Thanks, Nick Stine

Problem: Today, agencies and product teams pitch work via Loom, Google Slides, or static links, then separately send a BugSmash review link. Two tools, two contexts, friction for both creator and client. Description of Demo Walkthrough Mode: A built-in click-through walkthrough mode inside BugSmash projects. A guided, interactive preview shown to guests before they enter the review/approval flow. Use Case: Agency shares a new website design. Client opens the link, sees a 3–4 step guided walkthrough (hero, key sections, mobile view) with light annotations, then lands directly in the standard comment + approve flow. Why it fits BugSmash: You'd own the full pitch → review → approve loop (no competitor does this today) Reuses your existing workspace, comments, no-login guest flow, and version system How it works: Inside any project, toggle "Walkthrough Mode." Add steps by selecting elements/regions + a short note. Guest lands on walkthrough first, then the review screen. Versioned with the project (no new infrastructure needed).

Description: A Serveo integration would enable developers to share localhost demos directly through BugSmash without deploying to staging servers. Use Case: As a developer / vibecoder / web designer, it would be beneficial to share my local development environment for review so that I can get feedback faster without uploading/deploying first. How it works: Create project → Select "Localhost" option BugSmash generates secure tunnel (via Serveo.net integration) Share BugSmash link with reviewers Reviewers access localhost through BugSmash's interface Time-limited access (auto-expires after review period) Benefits: Eliminates deployment bottleneck Faster iteration cycles No staging server costs Perfect for rapid prototyping Unique competitive advantage Technical: Serveo provides SSH/WireGuard tunneling without proprietary clients. BugSmash would manage tunnel lifecycle and integrate with existing access controls. Suggested Implementation: Start as opt-in beta feature for Pro users. Clear security warnings. Fallback to traditional upload method. Target Users: Solo developers, small agencies, teams doing rapid prototyping and internal QA.

Hi BugSmash team, We use the v2 API to automate processing of website review feedback (list comments, action the changes in code, post replies). It works well and v2 is a big improvement over v1. One gap is blocking us from fully automating website projects. The per-comment location data is not available on the REST API. Both GET /api/v2/comments?projectId=... and GET /api/v2/comment/{id} return the comment text, status, priority, screenshot URL and replies, but no information about which page or element the comment was pinned to. On website projects comment_by_name and any page reference come back null, so the API alone cannot tell us where a comment belongs. That same data does exist. Your new JSON export (Project > Export > JSON) includes a full location object per comment: "location": { "live_url": "https://example.com/for-professionals/#enquiry", "dom_selector": "main > section:nth-child(2) > ... > a:nth-child(1)", "dom_selector_fallback": "...", "closest_parent_selector": "...", "element_tag": "a", "element_text": "privacy policy", "pin": { "x": ..., "y": ... }, "element_bounding_box": { ... }, "viewport": { ... }, "device": { ... }, "browser": "Chrome", "platform": "Desktop" } With live_url, dom_selector and element_text on the API we could locate the exact element in source directly, with no manual export step. The export is great for a one-off batch, but it is a manual download and is not reachable with our API key, so it cannot drive an automated or scheduled workflow. What we would like: Add the location object to each comment in GET /api/v2/comments and GET /api/v2/comment/{id}, or Gate it behind a parameter such as ?include=location to avoid bloating the default response. Note: we tried ?include=location, ?expand=location and ?with=location on the comments endpoint already. They are accepted but ignored (the response is byte-for-byte identical), so there does not appear to be an existing flag for this. At minimum live_url, dom_selector and element_text would be enough for us, though the full object matching the export would be ideal. Additional improvements No way to mark a comment resolved via the API (the bigger one). PATCH /comment/{id} lists status as editable but only accepts an opaque internal UUID, so every value we can actually send gets rejected. Right now our reply is our own "done" marker, but the client still has to manually click Resolve in the dashboard to move it out of active. If they exposed a plain resolve/status endpoint, we could close the loop fully and stop depending on the client remembering to click. This is arguably more friction day-to-day than the location gap. Tags aren't on the API either (optional). The export has a tags field but GET /comments doesn't. Only worth asking for if you plan to actually use tags to flag "on-hold vs action now" — otherwise it's a speculative ask. Your call. Thank you. Chris

When I share my website Bug Smash link with my client, it does not allow them to comment or view the website through the link. I uploaded a video. I uploaded a screenshot to show you what he sent me. I had the same experience when I tried using his link. It shows the pop-up to welcome the user and show them around, but then when you exit out of the pop-up, it stays darkened and does not allow movement throughout the software.
