Using comments and annotations makes collaborating on designs easier. Comments encourage general discussion about the work. Annotations simplify the feedback process; your team knows exactly what you’re referring to when you leave a comment. Use annotations to highlight specific areas to share your feedback.
On the artboard preview, the History and Details appear to the left of the artboard. There is also an area for comments and annotations to the right of the artboard.
