Pin Statuses
Each pin progresses through a status workflow. Click any status badge to cycle to the next status.
Status Workflow
OpenNew feedback awaiting review
In ReviewSomeone is reviewing the feedback
ChangesChanges requested by the reviewer
ApprovedChanges look good, ready to implement
DoneFeedback has been addressed and resolved
Status Cycling
When you click a status badge, it advances: Open → In Review → Changes → Approved → Done, then wraps back to Open. This lets you quickly move feedback through your workflow.
Filtering
Use the status filter buttons above the pin list to view pins by status. The stat cards at the top show aggregate counts. The "In Review" stat combines both "In Review" and "Changes" pins. The "Approved" stat combines "Approved" and "Done" pins.
Working with Pins
Pins are the core of Layerdock. They represent feedback on a specific element of a webpage.
Creating Pins
Via Extension — Install the Chrome extension, navigate to any page, and click to pin. Add a comment and attachments.
Element Labeling — AI automatically labels pinned elements (button, image, link, etc.) for easy identification.
Attachments — Add screenshots, files, or video recordings to your pins.
Pin Detail Drawer
Open — Click any pin row or card to open the detail drawer
Status — Click the status badge to cycle through statuses
Reactions — Add emoji reactions to pins for quick feedback
Screenshot — View the full screenshot in the drawer
Copy Link — Copy a permalink to share with your team

Copy Permalink
Each pin has a unique permalink that you can copy and share with your team. The link opens the pin on the review page so anyone can view it without logging in.
Emoji Reactions
React to pins with emoji in the detail drawer. Available reactions: 👍, 👎, 😄, 🎉, ❤️, 🚀, 👀, 💡. Click an emoji to toggle your reaction.
Comments & Markdown
Comments support markdown formatting for rich text, and @mentions for collaborating with team members.
