Commenting allows you to attach feedback directly to map locations, organize discussions in threads, and notify team members with @mentions. Share maps with customized viewing and editing permissions, then track feedback through the comment panel where conversations can be resolved and revisited. Comments maintain their location and zoom level, can be shared via direct links, work on mobile devices, and can be exported as georeferenced CSV or JSON files for further analysis.
All unresolved comments are visible on the map and in the Comments list (toggle it on or off by clicking on the Comments button). Clicking on a comment in the list will take you to the same view that the commenter was seeing.
To allow public commenting, change the public access permissions in the Share menu (top-right corner).
When public commenting is enabled, both authenticated and anonymous viewers can post comments. Anonymous viewers may additionally add a name and an email to their comments.
Note that with public commenting enabled, anonymous viewers (users who are not logged into Felt) will be able to see other anonymous comments, but not the email addresses associated with them.
