When building a new template, we often find the need to try different order of questions, question field types, things we need to revisit to change later, etc. When working with someone else to build a template, it’s difficult to provide feedback without directly making the changes or capturing ideas externally. I often have to meet with them live instead, temporarily put comments in the question label, or type up a list of “to do” and “feedback” in a document or Teams to share and/or go back to later.
It would be handy if there was a way to add comments to each question in the template editor, showing a bubble of each person’s comments and their name. The owner should be able to delete all comments. This would make editing and collaborating much easier.
Having a template revision history would also make this much better so we can see what we had with each publish in case we want to revert or know what someone else changed.
Hi Corey thank you so much for sharing these ideas.
We do have goals to make the template editing experience a more collaborative experience. What you’ve described here almost seams to replicate the experience of working with something like google docs which is likely an experience we are wanting to seek out for inspiration.
Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for raising this Corey as I ran into a similar issue while editing a template as the same time as someone else. More ease of collaboration would work well in big or small organizations with editing templates.
Completely agree.
We are trying to get more people on board to edit templates, although some templates are pretty scary with that much logic. If you could leave notes, this process would be a bit more friendly for new staff.
