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.

  • Long-term vision design work

Mobile v2: Channel Files view

Summary: In the webapp, we have a way to view files posted in a channel. However, the mobile app does not currently have any way to do this. Users expect to see parity between webapp and mobile with features like this, so we need to add this to the channel experience on mobile. The proposed solution is to:

  • Add a ‘Files’ option to the channel info modal

  • Tapping this new ‘Files’ option would take users to a child view of the channel info that shows files in the channel.

  • Leverage the patterns used currently in the global search view with files

  • Show files by recency (most recent files posted in the channel)

  • Infinitely load more files on scroll

Stage: 80% draft
