Canvas projects, Better AI reviews with scores, Text and image suggestions on website and a ton of UI/UX improvements 🚀

This update brings some of our biggest improvements yet, with new ways to organise your projects, review feedback, and collaborate more effectively in BugSmash.

From the all-new Canvas Projects and a completely revamped AI Review experience to text and image suggestions on websites, improved comment box UX, and a smoother, faster review experience — there’s a lot to explore in this release.

✨ New Features

🎨 Canvas Projects

Canvas is a brand-new project type designed to help you bring all the files you’re working on into a single visual space.

Add new projects, bring in existing projects, or drag and drop files onto your Canvas. Each file appears as its own card, making it easy to see everything at a glance and review multiple deliverables together.

You can:

• Browse websites and comment on it.

• Play video and audio directly from their cards.

• Review PDF, Word, PPT documents and annotate them.

• Add common comments outside the files on Canvas itself

We foresee Canvas as one of the majorly used project types, helping teams organise their entire campaigns in a single unlimited scrolling view ✨

Projects created on a Canvas are automatically organised into a dedicated Canvas Projects folder. You can move the projects into separate folders later without removing them from the Canvas

One Canvas. Multiple projects. One place to review.

✍️ Suggest Text & Image Changes Right on the Website

You can now select text or images directly on a website and suggest changes right where they appear.

Want to rewrite a headline? Select the text and suggest the change.

Want to try a different image? Select the image and replace it with your suggestion.

Compare the original and suggested versions side by side to decide what works best. Once you make a change, it is reflected directly in the website project interface.

Available for Website and HTML projects.

Select it. Suggest it. Compare it.

🤖 Complete Revamped AI Review Experience with Scores

We've completely revamped the AI Review experience within BugSmash. New Scoring for each, Faster, In Parallel, Easy to accept, reject while keeping comment bar clean.

AI Reviews now have their own dedicated space in the top bar, where each review stays grouped until you’re ready to take action.

You can now:

• Run multiple reviewers in a single go.

• Keep each reviewer’s findings grouped separately.

• Review findings before they reach your main comment sidebar.

• Accept the findings you want to bring into the comment sidebar.

• Generate reviews faster.

Each reviewer uses 1 review credit, giving you more control over how you use AI Reviews.

More reviewers. Better organisation. Faster feedback.

⚡ Improvements

🖊️ Annotation & Zoom Toolbar UX Improvements

The annotation and zoom toolbar have been refreshed for a sleek, cleaner and more consistent review experience. The toolbar remains open by default to reduce the friction of finding proper annotation tools while reviewing.

Controls are easier to work with, making it simpler to annotate, zoom, and navigate while reviewing your projects.

💬 Comment Box UX Improvements

We’ve refreshed the comment box UI across project types, making it cleaner and easier to use while leaving feedback.

The comment box has also been improved with contextual commenting for Website projects. When selecting text or images, the comment experience now adapts to what you’re reviewing, making it easier to leave more precise feedback.

⚡ Loading Speed & UX Improvements

We’ve made BugSmash faster and smoother across the board, with improved loading experiences for projects, files, comments, and review pages. Project lists and PDF loading have also been optimised to help you get into your work quicker with less waiting.

🇷🇴 Romanian Language Support

Romanian is now available as a language option in BugSmash, making reviews more accessible for Romanian-speaking teams and collaborators.

New Review Experience. Better UI/UX. Less Friction 🚀

From bringing your projects together in Canvas to suggesting changes directly on websites and managing AI feedback more cleanly, this update makes BugSmash more visual, organised, and collaborative.

There’s so much more to build and keep making the life of our users better. Hope you liked this one ❤️

Recently Viewed By, Centralised flow to invite guest reviewers, Better marker positioning on websites & more 🚀

This update brings better visibility into who’s actually reviewing your projects, especially when working with Guest Reviewers. You can now see when, while new workspace-level Guest Reviewer invitations give you more control over their access

We’ve also made everyday workflows faster with bulk actions for comments and projects, continuous scrolling for documents, improved website marker positioning, PDF comment attachments, HTML bulk uploads, and CAD improvements.

✨ New Features

👀 Recently Viewed By

You can now see who is currently viewing your project, who has viewed it recently, and when they were last active.

This is especially useful when working with Guest Reviewers. Your internal team can now see when a guest has accessed a project, whether they’re currently reviewing it, and when they were last active.

Note: The Recently Viewed By section is only visible to the internal team, including Owners, Admins, and Members. Guest reviewers cannot see the activity of internal users.

You can see:

• Who is currently viewing the project

• Who viewed the project recently

• When the guest reviewer or a teammate was last active

This gives your team better visibility into project engagement and makes it easier to know when clients, guests, or teammates are actively reviewing your work.

✨ Improvements

📍 Better marker positioning on websites

We've improved how markers stay positioned when changes are made to a website.

This helps keep feedback closer to its original location, even when the website layout or content is updated.

💬 Bulk update comments — Select all option

You can now select all comments at once and perform bulk actions instead of managing comments individually.

Once comments are selected, you can:

• Assign multiple comments to a team member

• Change priority in bulk

• Resolve multiple comments at once

• Delete multiple comments

• Export selected comments

You can also export selected comments in different available formats, making it easier to prepare feedback, create reports, or share comments with your team.

Whether you're cleaning up feedback or updating a large number of comments, Select All makes comment management much faster.

📁 Bulk update projects — Select all option

You can now select all projects at once and manage them in bulk.

Instead of selecting projects one by one, you can quickly select everything you need and take action in just a few clicks.

With Select All, you can:

• Delete multiple projects at once to quickly clear up workspace space

• Move multiple projects into a folder

• Organize large numbers of projects more efficiently

This makes it much easier to clean up your workspace and keep projects organized.

📄 Continuous scrolling for PDFs, PPTs & Docs

Reviewing multi-page documents is now smoother.

Previously, you had to manually switch between pages using the sidebar. You can now scroll continuously through PDF, PPT, and Doc projects, making it easier to review longer documents from start to finish.

👤 Invite Guest Reviewers from Workspace Settings

You can now invite Guest Reviewers directly from Workspace Settings.

Guest Reviewers can have access to your workspace without automatically seeing all of your projects.

Once invited, you’ll need to manually share the specific projects or folders you want them to access.

This gives your team more control over what each Guest Reviewer can see while keeping the rest of your workspace private.

📎 PDF attachments in comments

You can now attach PDF files directly to comments.

This makes it easier to share supporting documents, references, specifications, and additional context alongside your feedback.

</> HTML files in bulk uploads

Bulk uploads now support HTML files.

You can add HTML files alongside other supported files when uploading multiple projects at once, making it easier to upload and organize larger sets of project files.

🛠️ Fixes

Folder project count updates

Fixed an issue where the project count shown on a folder wouldn't update immediately after adding a new project.

The count now updates correctly as soon as a new project is added.

Improved CAD pinch-to-zoom

Fixed an issue where pinch gestures in CAD projects could zoom in or out in the wrong direction.

Pinch-to-zoom now works as expected when inspecting CAD drawings.

🚀 Smoother Reviews, Better Collaboration

From knowing when guests and teammates are reviewing your projects to managing comments and projects in bulk, this update makes everyday workflows easier across BugSmash.

With smoother document navigation, more flexible Guest Reviewer access, better website markers, and support for more ways to share feedback, you can spend less time managing your review workflow and more time getting work done.

More improvements coming soon. 🚀

BugSmash MCP Server, CAD File Support, New filters & sorting for projects & comments 🚀

This update brings you the all-powerful BugSmash MCP server, which you can connect with your existing AI tools - Claude, Cursor, Codex, etc - Review CAD designs directly in BugSmash, and stay on top of projects and comments with new filters & sorting.

We've also made several improvements to website review markers, version activity, and comment handling to make your review workflow more consistent.

✨ New Features

🤖 BugSmash MCP

Bring BugSmash into your AI workflow

You can now connect BugSmash to compatible AI tools using our new MCP server.

MCP creates a secure bridge between your BugSmash workspace and supported AI clients, allowing you to bring your projects, reviews, and feedback into the tools where your team works.

You can connect BugSmash with:

• Claude

• ChatGPT / Codex

• Cursor

• Other MCP-compatible clients

Connections use secure OAuth 2.1 authorization, so you can review and approve access without needing an API key.

📐 CAD File Support

Review CAD designs directly in BugSmash

BugSmash now supports CAD drawings, making it easier to collect visual feedback on architectural plans, technical drawings, and other CAD designs.

You can upload and review:

• .dwg

• .dxf

• .step

• .stp

• .ifc

• .stl

• .obj

Once uploaded, you can review the drawing directly in BugSmash and add comments to specific areas of the design.

Whether you're reviewing a floor plan, engineering drawing, or 3D model, your team can keep the feedback connected directly to the design.

💬 More powerful comment filters

Find the feedback that matters

We've added new filters to the comments view so you can quickly narrow down your feedback.

You can now filter comments by:

• Added By — See comments added by specific team members.

• All Unread — Quickly find comments that haven't been read yet.

• With Replies — Filter comments that already have replies.

You can also combine filters to narrow down your results and quickly find the feedback you're looking for.

🗂️ Smarter project activity & sorting

Quickly find projects with new activity

We've added new ways to organize and find projects directly from the dashboard.

You can now:

• Filter projects with NEW UNREAD comment/replies.

• Sort projects by Name A–Z or Name Z–A.

The Unread filter especially makes it very easy to see which projects have new comments or replies. This makes it easier to jump straight into the projects that need your attention.

✨ Improvements

📍 Better marker positioning on website reviews

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE 🔥

We've improved how comment markers stay aligned when website content changes.

When elements on a website move or the page layout changes, markers now do a better job of remaining aligned with the area where the feedback was originally added.

This is V1 of our marker-positioning improvements, and we'll continue refining this experience to make website reviews even more reliable.

🔔 More accurate activity across project versions

We've improved activity tracking across project versions to keep your notifications focused and relevant.

Previously, activity from older project versions could appear in the notification bell, even when the current version had no new activity. Now, notifications are scoped to the current project version, so you can quickly see what’s new and focus on the feedback that actually needs your attention.

🛠️ Fixes

Version comparison for logged-in guests

Fixed an issue where version comparison wasn't working correctly for logged-in guest users.

Logged-in guests can now compare project versions as expected.

Cleaner comment sidebar spacing

Fixed an issue where adding comments to a new page or image could cause unexpected spacing to appear in the comment sidebar.

The sidebar now maintains consistent spacing when moving between pages, images, and files.

More accurate unread & resolved activity

Previously, a comment could continue to appear as NEW even after you had already taken an action on it.
Now, the NEW status is automatically cleared when you interact with a comment, such as:

• Resolving the comment

• Changing its priority

• Updating the assignee

• Taking any action on the comment

This keeps your unread activity accurate and ensures that comments you've already interacted with no longer appear as new.

More accurate notifications

We've improved how unread activity is shown for projects and folders.

Previously, notifications could show unread comments and activity from previous project versions, making it harder to identify what needs your attention. We've updated this so it now considers only activity from the active project version.

This keeps your notifications focused on the current version and helps you stay on top of the feedback that matters.

🚀 Better Reviews, Better Visibility

With BugSmash MCP, CAD file support, smarter comment filters, improved project activity controls, and better handling of versions and markers, this update makes it easier to bring BugSmash into your existing workflow and stay focused on the feedback that matters.

We're continuing to improve both the breadth and the depth of the product to make BugSmash the universal review and approval layer for all your creative work. More to come soon 🚀
