TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The objective is to allow people within my company to review our web pages before they go live â as per Acrobat review of PDF, but actually on the web pages rather than a PDF rendering or screengrab. First and foremost the other writers, but certainly the SMEâs and possibly others who we havenât yet considered.
We want every reviewerâs comments to be visible to everyone else in the review team (or even the company!)
So, yes, just like reviewing a Word document, but on web pages. Preferably with a tool that is easy to install, easy to use, and free!
Thanks!

Subject: Re: Web page content commenting/review tool recommendations?
Are you talking about marking up your own web pages in-house? And is it safe to make changes that are visible to others?
If you're talking about making comments on web pages that belong to others, that's a different kettle of fish.
Exactly what is the point of these markups? Are you trying to comment on them the same way you would use comments in a Word document, to critique things, or are you trying to create alternative pages?

Hi,
Can anyone recommend tools for reviewing/commenting/marking up web pages, preferably within the browser?
The tool (ideally) needs to enable collaboration, with all review comments visible to all reviewers. I have found a couple of candidates, but they seem to work by allowing you to place notes and highlights etc. on a PDF screengrab rather than linking them to the actual page.
We have also experimented with Diigo, a social bookmarking tool, but this doesn't seem to do what we want: display the web page and the comments simultaneously, or with the comments located on the page - maybe we're using it incorrectly, but we don't know.
Our web pages are dynamic, so this may affect which tools (if any exist) we can use.
All comments and suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks!
