the problem with sharing a plain url
a page url drops the reader at the top, not at the comment. “the button on the left” means different things on different screen sizes. the reader has to re-find what you already found. and context gets lost the moment it leaves your screen.
this is the same drift that makes screenshots and coordinate pins unreliable. a link is only as useful as the precision of where it lands you.
share a link to the element, not the page
with spotlight, every comment you leave on an element generates a shareable feedback link. because the comment is anchored to the element's css/xpath selector and the page url, the link takes your teammate straight to that element with the comment in view — no scrolling, no guessing, no “which one?”
a good feedback link answers “where is it?” before the reader has to ask. that's the difference between a page url and an element link.
how to do it
open the live page in chrome and click the element you want to discuss. leave your comment — the selector and url are captured automatically. copy the comment's shareable link from spotlight. drop it in your ticket, chat, or doc — the reader lands on the element.
this is what makes async review actually work. a distributed team doesn't need everyone on a call to point at the same thing — the link does the pointing.
everything you share also stays connected to the team dashboard, so a shared link isn't a dead end — it's a live thread anyone can reply to. share the element, not the page, and feedback stops being a scavenger hunt.

frequently asked
what makes a feedback link “specific”?
it points to the exact element the comment is about, not just the page. with spotlight, the link is built from the element's selector and url, so the reader lands directly on the element with the comment in view.
can i share feedback links in slack or a ticket?
yes. spotlight generates a shareable link for each element comment that you can drop into chat, a ticket, or a doc — and it stays connected to the team dashboard for replies.
does the recipient need the extension to view the comment?
feedback links open the relevant context, and the comment lives in the shared web app at spotlight.ogbuilds.ai, so your team can view and reply without re-finding the element.
