Design reviews are a crucial and more formal part of the design process. Reviews are used to ensure the necessary stakeholders are in the loop and feedback is continuous. It’s the responsibility of the designer to make sure that reviews happen on all features. The format and cadence of the reviews depends on the feature and the team. Below are a few types of reviews we follow.

Sharing work for review with feature teams
Sharing in the Design Specs in the Spec Reviews Channel
Sharing work in the Spec Reviews Channel is a great way to gather feedback from relevant team members while also giving visibility to the broader organization and open-source community. It also gives insight in to our design process and the new features the team is working on.
What to share in Spec Reviews Channel
Work in progress that is 70% complete or more. If you’re looking for feedback on work that is in an earlier conceptual state, It’s best to keep earlier drafts for the immediate team working on the project or the internal design team.
What not to share in Spec Reviews
Sensitive information or client data. Remember this is a public channel open to the broader community. Ensure designs do not include client names or other sensitive details.
Early, rough draft concepts. This type of work is usually best shared in other venues with more internal teams.
