Share a review link
Send clients a link where they can pin comments with no account.
A review link is your staging address with ?review=1 added at the end. Your clients open it, type their name once, and start pinning comments. They never need an account.
Before you start
- You are signed in to the dashboard.
- You have a project, and the widget is on your staging site. See Install the widget.
Steps
- Open the dashboard. You see the Projects page with your project cards.
- Find the card for your project.
- Click View site on that card. Your staging site opens with
?review=1at the end of the address. - Copy the full address from your browser's address bar.
- Paste it into an email or a chat, and send it to your client.
You can also build the link by hand: your staging address plus ?review=1. That part tells the widget to switch on, even on a host it would normally skip.
What your client sees
They see the Coohoo toolbar at the bottom of the page. They click a spot, write a note, and send it. You see the comment in your dashboard.
The link that is only for you
Inside a project page, the one that lists comments, View site and the page links work differently. They add a moderation token to the address, ?coohoo-mod=.... A moderation token is a key that lets that browser edit or delete any comment on the project. It helps you tidy up feedback while you review.
If something looks wrong
- The link you sent contains
coohoo-mod. You copied it from a project page. Send the plain?review=1link from the project card instead. - Your client sees no toolbar. Check that you sent the staging address. The widget never shows on your production domain, even with
?reviewin it.
Tip: Coohoo remembers
?reviewfor each host, so after the first visit, later pages on the same site work without it.
