Client feedback, on the page
Send a private link. Your client clicks the part they mean and writes. No account needed.
One link, no sign-up
Make a link
In the editor's site menu, choose Share for review, then Make a link. It shows your latest version.
Send it your way
Copy it into an email or a text. The same link keeps showing your newest work as you change things.
They comment
They click a part of the page, write up to 1,000 characters and give a first name.
You answer
You're emailed when comments arrive, at most once an hour. They wait in your site's Comments tab.
Treat the link like a key
Anyone who has it can see the site. Turn it off at once, or make a new one any time.
What the link lets them do
They can
- See your latest version, page by page
- Comment on any part of it
- Read the comments made through their link
- See which ones you've resolved
They can't
- Change anything on the site
- See your other sites or your team
- Send your forms
- Find the page through search, which never lists it
Common questions
Can't find your answer? Read Shingle Help or email [email protected].
It lets someone comment on a website while looking at it, so nobody has to describe a page in an email. For a client website review in Shingle, you send a private link to your latest version, and your client clicks a section and writes what they think, with no account.
No. They open the link, click a part of the page and write, with a name their browser remembers. A first name is enough, and no email is asked for. If you want them to make changes themselves, invite them to edit the site instead, which does need an account.
Yes. The link shows your latest version whether the site is live or still a demo, and it keeps up as you make changes. Making a link needs a confirmed email, in the trial or on the plan. Anyone on your team can copy a link that exists.
They attach to a section of the page, or the whole page. Shingle outlines the section a comment is about, and the comment stays with that section as the site changes. Pins at an exact point, replies and reactions aren't built. A comment can be up to 1,000 characters.
It doesn't expire by itself, and there's no password on it. It works until you press Turn off link, which stops it at once, or Make a new link, which replaces it. Search engines never list the page, so people reach it only through the link.

Comments become changes
Feedback usually arrives as an email with a screenshot and a line like “can the top bit be friendlier?” You then have to work out which top bit, on which page, and retype it as a task. Here, a comment is tied to the section the client clicked, or to the whole page if they'd rather, and it stays with that section after the site changes.
In the Comments tab, Ask Shingle puts the client's words into the change box, aimed at that section. You can edit them first, then send it as an ordinary change for 5 credits. When it's done, press Resolve. The client sees the comment marked as resolved on their link, so they know it was heard, and nobody has to write an email to say so.
A site has one working link at a time, and it always opens the newest version, so you can keep changing things and send the same link again. If the preview needs a moment to get ready, the page says so and opens it when it can. Each comment remembers which version it was made on.
