Downloading documents 'with pins in them'

HI everyone!

A user recently asked if they could download a copy of the document under review 'with the pins in it', basically showing the pins in-line as kind of a visual report of what we see in the diff viewer.    I didn't think we could, and both playing with the tool and loking at documentation, this is not a feature (anyone want to disagree?)

But, I'm curious if other folks might find such a feature useful before I go and add it as a feature request.   I can see it being hard to implement but can also be kind of cool   Would you find something like that useful?

    Hi johnmcase 

    Great value addition idea,

    Having the ability to download a document with pins in it would provide a visual representation of the changes or comments, making it easier to share and review the document outside of the Collaborator platform.

    Warm Regards

    Yes, this feature can be useful for users, especially for those who often work with reviews and comments in documents. It will allow you to better understand the context and location of comments, which will make it easier to interact with documents and increase work efficiency. Therefore, adding this feature as a feature request seems like a smart move.

    this does exist in a round about way.  If the review is closed, you can archive the single review and the generated zip file includes a pdf with the pins.

    The feature you're describing—downloading a document with pins shown inline as a visual report—could indeed be quite useful in certain contexts, especially for collaborative or review processes. 

     Seeing pins inline could provide a more immediate visual feedback on where comments or annotations are located within the document. This can help reviewers or collaborators quickly understand the context of the feedback.

    For documentation or audit purposes, having a snapshot of the document with pins visible can serve as a visual record of the review process and decisions made.
