Shanuman Visual Annotation

Shanuman Visual Annotation transforms your WordPress website into a live, interactive feedback canvas. Built specifically for agencies, freelancers, and site owners, this lightweight tool allows logged-in editors to leave precise, element-anchored comments directly on the frontend of the website.

Stop wrestling with messy spreadsheets and confusing screenshots. With Shanuman Visual Annotation, clients can simply click any element on the page, drop a pin, and type their feedback.

Features

• Element-Anchored Pins: Click anywhere on the page to drop a visual pin perfectly anchored to the underlying HTML element.
• Live Threaded Discussions: Reply to feedback and have full conversations directly on the page.
• Resolution Workflow: Easily track feedback status by marking pins as “Approved” when the task is complete.
• Smart Dimming Layer: A built-in dark overlay ensures that your feedback pins always stand out, regardless of the website’s background color or design.
• Centralized Dashboard: Review, manage, and bulk-delete feedback threads across your entire website from a clean, React-powered backend dashboard.
• Flag Important Items: Mark critical feedback threads with a high-priority flag to ensure they get handled first.
• Unread Notifications: Visual indicators let you know instantly when a client has left a new reply on a thread.
