Reviewing Designs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Kanvas’s Designer enables you to place comments “inline” with your infrastructure as code. Use comments to offer feedback to team members, take detailed design notes, capture helpful tips for your team members, and include justification as to your infrastructure and application configuration decisions. Pay it forward to your future self by leaving historical record for reference later.

Example of comments in Designer

Your comment may be a request for design review, to offer feedback to peers, or to simply record notes.
