What does Replay want to be?

Looks like a tool to comment/collaborate on video, which is great.  Why then, is it under the general "Share" dropdown when any file open, AND labeled as "Send for review"?  I hit this on a PDF, exp...

Hi Megane, thanks the reply and explanation! I think Replay *can* be a collaboration tool for everything, but as of right now, it's really only designed for video.


Here's a very basic test case on how it doesn't work for other formats:  Try to leave a pointed (a highlighted area or box, or in some way connect a comment to a particular point on the canvas) comment on a PDF.  This test case fails. 

 

Replay has great potential though! Looking forward to continued progress,

As someone who uses Replay only for video, I had actually forgotten it was intended for any file type.

 

As of today, I see annotation tools like pen, line, colour picker, and an icon to post my drawing as a comment. These seems to work well, so if you don't have these yet I expect you will soon. DB does roll out new features to batches of users to test things.

 

All the best.
