Image annotations, a dedicated pull request detail page and a tidier sidebar
#annotations#comments#pull-requests#notifications#navigation#spsx

This update is about commenting and finding your way back: you can comment on images exactly where it matters, pull requests get a dedicated detail page linked to their ticket and preview, notifications for the same ticket are bundled, and the sidebar navigation is noticeably tidier.


Comment on images exactly where it matters

Screenshots on a ticket are often half the story — but "the icon top right" or "the spacing in the second block" was hard to pin down. Now you comment right on the image.

Open an image on a ticket and turn on Mark. Then click the exact spot you mean — a marker with a short note ("Note at this spot …") appears there. Each marker sits at a fixed position on the image, so it's immediately clear what a remark refers to.

Markers aren't a separate side channel: they show up as annotation cards in the ticket's comment thread. That way the discussion around an image reads like a normal thread — except every point knows where on the image it belongs. Show in comment thread jumps from a marker straight to the matching spot in the conversation, and back.

The comment thread itself has been rebuilt as a timeline for this: comments, reactions and annotation cards sit in one chronological stream instead of separate lists.


.spsx on tickets: export and import

Around image annotations you can hand off a ticket's complete state as a Spedy Selection Package (.spsx). A .spsx file bundles a ticket's images, their positioned annotations and the related comment threads into a single file.

On a ticket there are two actions for this:

  • Export .spsx — downloads the ticket's images, annotations and comment threads as a package.
  • Import .spsx — loads a package into a ticket. The screenshots inside become attachments with their positioned markers and comment threads.

This lets you pass an annotated state between tickets — or in from the Spedy browser extension — without losing markers and discussion. The familiar .spsx import when creating a ticket stays exactly as it was.


Pull requests: a dedicated detail page linked to ticket and preview

Until now you could expand a PR row in the Pull Requests view. New is a dedicated detail page per pull request: in the list, Open details takes you to /pull-requests/{id}.

The detail page shows, in one place:

  • a header with provider, number, state, title, source/target branch and author,
  • the description, labels, the checks (pipeline steps) and reviews,
  • an activity timeline of the pull request's events.

The real point, though, is the links: from the PR detail page you jump straight to the linked ticket (including its live-preview dot), and a preview image gallery shows the screenshots an agent attaches during a preview run — as thumbnails you can page through full-screen.

The links now surface on the ticket too: a ticket's Code tab lists its linked pull requests with a clear check summary ("N/M Checks" instead of cryptic dots). And in the Pipelines view, every run links to its ticket, that ticket's preview and the matching PR detail page. So PR, ticket, pipeline and preview all connect end to end.


Notifications for the same ticket are bundled

When a lot happens on a ticket in a short time, it used to flood the notification center as many individual rows. Now you keep the overview.

Within each category, multiple unread notifications for the same ticket collapse into one expandable group. The group shows:

  • stacked avatars of the people involved,
  • a preview of the latest title plus the ticket context,
  • the actions Open ticket and Mark all read right on the group.

A click expands the group to reveal the individual items. Read notifications and ones without a ticket stay single rows as before. It all happens client-side — nothing changes about your notification settings.


A tidier sidebar navigation

The sidebar navigation is leaner and more consistent. Instead of three groups there are now two: Personal and Workspace — the former single-item "Knowledge & AI" section was merged into Workspace.

What you'll notice day to day:

  • Consistent rows — every navigation row has the same layout (icon, label, optional count badge, optional expand chevron). The old hover icon-swap is gone.
  • Flyouts when collapsed — with a narrow sidebar, expandable entries like Projects and Issues open their submenu as a click flyout instead of becoming unreachable. Labels appear as a tooltip.
  • Shorter listsProjects now shows your ★ favorites and the recently visited boards (max. five each) plus a Show all entry, instead of a full A–Z list. Ticket favorites are likewise capped at five plus "Show all".

Everything stays reachable — the navigation is just calmer and quicker to scan.


In short

  • Image annotations: turn on Mark, click the spot on the image and leave a note. Markers appear as annotation cards in the comment thread, now built as a timeline.
  • .spsx on tickets: Export .spsx the current state and Import .spsx it into a ticket — screenshots become attachments with markers and threads.
  • PR detail page at /pull-requests/{id} with checks, reviews, activity and links to ticket, live preview and preview images; the ticket's Code tab shows linked PRs with "N/M Checks".
  • Bundled notifications: multiple unread items for the same ticket as an expandable group with Open ticket / Mark all read.
  • Tidier navigation: two groups, consistent rows, flyout submenus when collapsed, and shorter favorites/board lists with "Show all".

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about this topic.

How do I comment on an image at a specific spot?
Open the image on a ticket, turn on Mark and click the exact spot you want to comment on. A marker with a short note appears at that point. The marker shows up as an annotation card in the comment thread, and "Show in comment thread" jumps you back to the matching spot.
What is a .spsx file and how do I use it on a ticket?
A Spedy Selection Package (.spsx) bundles a ticket's images, their positioned annotations and comment threads into a single file. On a ticket you can download the current state via Export .spsx and load a package via Import .spsx — the screenshots become attachments with their markers and threads.
Where do I find the details for a pull request?
In the Pull Requests view, Open details takes you to a dedicated page (/pull-requests/{id}). It shows the header, description, labels, checks, reviews and an activity timeline — plus links to the linked ticket, its live preview and a gallery of preview images.
Why are multiple notifications for the same ticket now bundled?
Several unread notifications for the same ticket now appear in the notification center as one expandable group with stacked avatars and a preview. From the group you can Open ticket or Mark all read; expanding reveals the individual items. Read notifications stay single rows.
What changed in the sidebar navigation?
The sidebar is down to two groups (Personal, Workspace), every row shares the same layout, and in collapsed mode expandable entries like Projects or Issues open their submenu as a flyout. Projects now shows your favorites and recently visited boards (max. 5 each) plus "Show all" instead of a long A–Z list.
