Edit Uploaded Files later in the process of a version

Feature Request

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

    Hi Nabil,

    thanks for reaching out. Normaly i would say yes i could change to images. But as these are websites that have to be “frozen” in state i need a pdf to show all states like open akkordeons etc. So an image is not an option. Due to the fact that ervery page from the client is behind a password protected firewall i am not able to do it as a website as this did not load correct and could not do any screenshots. So pdf is the only option. From my understanding having every page set up as a project in Burgsmash is a limitation for a realworld workflow that could handle a folder as a project and then add different items like images into it as things and versions to review. Such a structure would help to overcome that problem with the interchangability of files that you mentioned

    Thanks for your time - hope you have a great day!

    Best regards and stay safe!

    Hi! Nabil here,

    Thanks for sharing this use-case. We do have swap image / add new image for Image projects but not for PDFs yet since PDF is like 1 single file with pages (I’ll still explore its possibility).

    Can you explain me further if using Image project in your case would help you better than PDF? Or if there’s any challenge in that?
