Step-by-Step Guide
1. Visual Commenting
Description:
Users can click directly on any element of a live website or design and leave a comment. This creates a visual task that’s easy for the entire team to understand and act upon.
Instructions:
- Open a project in Visual Collaboration View.
- Hover over the area you want to comment on.
- Click to place a comment marker.
- Type your comment and press Send.
- A task is automatically created and tracked.
Tip: Encourage stakeholders to use this feature to point directly at what they want changed—instead of writing long email descriptions.
2. Screenshots and Annotation
Description:
Each comment automatically generates a screenshot that captures the exact visual state. Users can also take manual screenshots, annotate them with shapes and text, and attach them to tasks.
Instructions:
- Create or open a task in Visual Collaboration.
- Use the annotate tool to add arrows, highlights, or notes.
- Save the annotation—it will attach to the task as a reference image.
- You can also upload additional files/screenshots as needed.
Tip: Use annotations when feedback requires step-by-step guidance or detailed visual context.
3. Task Management Integration
Description:
All visual comments instantly become tasks in Atarim’s task dashboard. Team members can track, assign, and prioritize them just like any other task.
Instructions:
- Navigate to the Inbox or Boards view.
- Locate tasks created through visual collaboration (identified by screenshots and URLs).
- Assign team members, set priority and status, and track progress.
Recommendation: Regularly review visual tasks in the Inbox to ensure no feedback is left unaddressed.
Benefits of Using Visual Collaboration Tools

Faster review cycles by allowing users to leave feedback directly on what they see—no screen sharing or calls required.
2. Enhanced Communication
Non-technical stakeholders can point and click, removing ambiguity and reducing the need for long explanations.
3. Increased Accountability
Each comment is a task with clear assignees and deadlines, ensuring all feedback is captured and acted upon.
4. Faster Project Completion
By integrating feedback directly into your workflow, projects move from concept to completion significantly faster.
