What you will do
This guide walks you through the full cycle: opening the overlay, placing a pin, writing feedback, and resolving it. By the end, you will know exactly how NotedWP works in practice.
Step 1: Open the overlay
Navigate to any page on your site and add ?noted to the URL. For example:
https://yoursite.com/?notedYou can also click Open Review Tool in the WordPress admin bar.
The NotedWP toolbar appears at the edge of the page. You are now in review mode.
Step 2: Select the pin tool
Click the pin icon in the toolbar. You can also press the C key on your keyboard to activate it.
Your cursor changes to a crosshair, indicating you are ready to place a pin.
Step 3: Click on the page
Click anywhere on the page where you want to leave feedback. A numbered pin marker drops at that spot, and a comment box opens next to it.
Step 4: Type your feedback
Write your comment in the text box. Be as specific as you like. For example:
> “This headline should be bolder. Can we also increase the font size to match the design comp?”
Step 5: Submit the comment
Click Submit (or press Enter). The comment is saved and the pin marker stays on the page. The pin is now in open status.
Step 6: View it in the comments panel
Click the comments panel icon in the toolbar to see a list of all pins for the current page. Your new pin appears at the top with its comment text, timestamp, and status.
From this panel, you can click any pin to jump to its location on the page.
Step 7: Resolve the pin
Once the feedback has been addressed, open the pin by clicking its marker on the page (or selecting it in the comments panel). Click the Resolve button to change its status from open to resolved.
Resolved pins are dimmed on the overlay so you can focus on what still needs attention.
That’s the core workflow
Every review follows this pattern: open the overlay, pin, comment, resolve. Everything else in NotedWP builds on this foundation.
From here, you can explore additional tools like the element selector, drawing annotations, and text-edit suggestions. Or, if you need to share the review with a client, check out the Guest Access guide.
