Comment statuses
Every comment in Huddlekit has one of four statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open | New feedback that has not been addressed yet. |
| In Review | Being reviewed or awaiting a decision. |
| In Progress | Actively being worked on. |
| Resolved | Completed or fixed. |
All new comments start as Open. Anyone viewing a comment — including guests on a share link — can change its status from the comment marker popover or from the sidebar.
There is no separate Approved status. If your review process needs a sign-off step, the usual approach is a custom tag — an "Approved" tag reads clearly on the card, and you can filter the whole workspace by it. Teams that want a lighter version use Resolved as the approval and leave a reply saying so.
Changing status
From the widget
Click on a comment marker to open its popover. Use the status dropdown to change the status. The marker color updates to reflect the new status.
From the board
Every project has a Tasks button (the kanban icon) in its toolbar. Open it to see that project's feedback on a board organized into four columns — Open, In Progress, In Review, and Resolved. Drag and drop comments between columns to change their status.
Owners, due dates, and effort
Open a comment and use its Properties panel to add the task detail a status alone does not carry:
| Property | What it does | Who can set it |
|---|---|---|
| Assignees | Puts one or more workspace members on the comment, so it is clear who is picking it up. | Workspace members |
| Due date | A calendar date. The badge turns red on the comment and its board card once the date has passed and the comment is not resolved. | Workspace members |
| Effort | A rough estimate in hours, from 1h up to 96h, shown as a badge for planning a round of fixes. | Workspace members |
Due dates and effort are available on website project comments. Guests can see them but cannot change them, even on their own comments. Assignees work on website, media, and web app projects alike.
You can sort a project's comments and board columns by due date or effort, so the next thing to work on is at the top.
Filtering comments
In the comments sidebar, you can filter by status:
- Open
- In Review
- In Progress
- Resolved
Select one or more statuses to narrow down the list. This is helpful when you want to focus on unresolved feedback or review what has been completed.
Sorting comments
Sort the comment list by:
- Newest (default)
- Oldest
- Priority — highest priority first: Critical, then Medium, then Low.
- Activity — most recently active first.
- Due date
- Effort
Tasks board
Open a project's Tasks button to see all of its feedback on a board:
- Four columns for each status — Open, In Progress, In Review, and Resolved.
- Drag and drop to update status.
- Sort within columns by date, priority, and more.
- Comment cards show the author, priority, reply count, and details like device type or page path.
