Launchpad: Integrating Comments and Workflows

[zcolah]

Problem

Currently, users can only view comments or statuses for content items by accessing them individually. This approach creates inefficiencies, as users lack a centralized way to monitor and manage items that require their attention.

As a result, users may miss important updates such as:

• Being mentioned in a comment.
• Receiving a reply to one of their comments.
• Status changes of content items they are responsible for.

This fragmented process can lead to delays, overlooked tasks, and frustration for users trying to collaborate effectively.

Opportunity

Building a Comment and Workflow Hub provides users with a streamlined way to track all content items requiring their attention, resulting in:

1. Increased visibility into content activity.
2. Faster response times and improved collaboration.
3. Enhanced user satisfaction by reducing inefficiencies in content workflows.

Potential Solution

Create a centralized Comment and Workflow Hub within the Zesty launchpad itself where users can easily track and manage content-related activity.

It would be a Unified Dashboard:

1. A single view displaying content items that require user attention.
2. Filter options to narrow down items based on comments, mentions, replies, or status changes.
3. Enable users to search for specific content items or filter by project, language, or other criteria.

It should display notifications for actions such as:

1. Being mentioned in a comment.
2. A reply to a user’s comment.
3. Status changes on assigned or monitored content items.
4. Notifications should be actionable (e.g., clicking on one opens the specific content item).

Highlight content items assigned to the user or their team. Allow users to sort by priority, due date, or status. Search and Filters:
