Navigation Modes (Browse, Comment, Inspect)

Master the tri-mode canvas controls: Browse naturally, Comment with element snapping, and Inspect computed styles.

Tri-Mode Canvas Operations

The floating bottom toolbar features a segmented toggle allowing you to switch between three modes instantly:

[ Comment Mode (C) ] [ Inspect Mode (I) ] [ Browse Mode (V) ]

1. Browse Mode (`V`)

Browse Mode turns off review overlays and restores standard web browser behavior:

  • Click links to navigate through multi-page user journeys.
  • Open dropdown menus, trigger modals, and fill out test forms.
  • Pinned comment markers remain visible as compact numbered badges so you can see where feedback lives while exploring the page.

2. Comment Mode (`C`)

Comment Mode activates element-snapping feedback:

  • Moving your cursor across the page highlights HTML elements with glowing bounding boxes.
  • Click any button, heading, card, or image to drop a comment pin.
  • The composer opens immediately with automatic diagnostic context captured.

3. Inspect Mode (`I`)

Inspect Mode is designed for frontend developers and design system maintainers:

  • Hover over any element to display its CSS dimensions, padding, margins, and tag name.
  • Clicking an element opens the Inspector Drawer, detailing:
  • Computed typography (font family, font weight, line height, letter spacing).
  • Colors and background tokens.
  • Flexbox and CSS Grid layout parameters.
  • HTML attributes and accessibility roles.
