Using the widget
The feedback tab on the site you're reviewing, what each button does, and where to get help.
The widget is the feedback tab on the edge of the site you're reviewing. You don't need an account or anything to install: open the site and use the tab.
If you can't see it, the site may show it only through a special link. Ask the CEC team for the review link.
The launcher
The launcher is a white tab, by default at the middle of the right edge. Hover an icon to see its name:
| Button | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Add feedback | Point at a specific part of the page. A pin marks the spot, and you can draw on the page. See Area feedback. |
| Add page feedback | A comment about the whole page, with no pin. See Page feedback. |
| Record your screen | Show a problem in a recording of up to 3 minutes. See Screen recordings. |
| View feedback | See the feedback already left on the site, reply and resolve. See Viewing and commenting. |
You can drag the launcher along its edge if it covers something. The team can turn buttons off for a project, so you may see fewer than four.
Pins on the page
Feedback left on a specific area shows as a numbered pin on the page. Click a pin to open its feedback. Depending on the project, pins show all the time, only while the widget is open, or not at all.
Getting help in the widget
The ? button at the top of the feedback panel opens "How to send and collaborate on feedback", a short guide to everything on these pages. The "Powered by CEC Feedback" link at the bottom of the panel opens these docs.
Your details
The first time you send feedback or a comment, the widget asks for your name and email. They're remembered on this device, so it asks only once. The CEC team uses them to know who sent the feedback and to email you when someone replies or the feedback is resolved. See Notifications.
