A precise comment saves a whole round of changes. Here's how to mark the exact spot, and say exactly what to change. To flag an area, like a claim or a logo, choose Box comment, and drag a box around it. Then write what to change, and why, and click Post. For wording, choose Text highlight, and select the exact words. Pick Replace, and type the new text. Add the reason, and post it. Now the designer sees exactly what to change, and what to change it to. In Text highlight mode, live text has a dashed outline. No outline means the text is flattened, so use a Box comment instead. You're done when each comment sits on the exact spot, and says what to change, and why. Next: how to approve, or request changes.
