Internal & External Comments
Collaborate internally with your team or externally with viewers — all directly within Supademo.
What is Collaborative Commenting?
Collaborative Commenting makes it easy to gather feedback, discuss ideas, and resolve issues without leaving your demo. You can collaborate privately with your team through Internal Comments, or collect public feedback via External Comments on shared demos.
Internal Comments
Visible only to workspace members and collaborators.
For internal feedback, QA, and review discussions.
External Comments
Visible to internal & external viewers on shared demos (if enabled).
For viewer feedback, stakeholder input, and insights into specific steps.
Internal Comments (Collaborate Within Your Team)
Collaborate effortlessly with teammates directly in the Supademo editor — no need for Slack threads or external docs. Add step-specific feedback, track changes, and keep your reviews in one place.
You’ll be notified of new activity through both in-app alerts and email updates, ensuring important feedback is never missed. To control how and when you’re notified, review your Workspace Notifications and Email Notification Settings.
Collaborative commenting is only available on Scale, Growth, and Enterprise plans.
Here's a 2 minute interactive overview:
Add and View Internal Comments
Open your demo in the Supademo editor.
Click the comments button beneath the demo.
Add a new comment or reply to an existing one.
Each comment is pinned to the exact slide it refers to, keeping context clear
Workspace notifications for Internal Comments
As team members leave comments or replies, all unresolved items appear in a central notification pane within your workspace.
Click the bell icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
The side drawer will open, showing a list of unresolved comments.
Select a comment to jump directly to the related slide.
Manage Email Notifications
Control when you’re notified about new comments or mentions:
Go to Settings → Emails → User Emails.
Toggle Comments & Mentions on or off.
Adjust this anytime to manage your email volume.
This allows you to control the email notifications received when someone comments on your work or mentions you in a comment.
External Comments (Collect Feedback from Viewers)
External Comments enable public collaboration, letting anyone with your shared demo link leave comments. This is ideal for gathering feedback from clients, stakeholders, or end users.

Viewers Adding Comments
When someone views your shared demo, they can:

This keeps feedback organized and actionable, especially for larger demos.
