Each team has different needs, uses various management and communication tools, and is just unique in its products, people, and customers.

That's why Sympli Handoff has several features that you can integrate with your current workflow to improve it or even create a new one.

If you’re still unsure of what Sympli Handoff does or how to start, you can take a look here to find guides on creating projects, using our design plugins, and exporting assets.

Here are some examples of how you can set up a good workflow and hand-off process with our features:

In Sympli Handoff, you can add comments to your designs and set up a review workflow with this feature.

You can make as many annotations as you need on each design.

You can even mark them as resolved so that you can treat them like tickets. As shown below, a resolved comment will change its bubble color to white, so you can easily filter what's done and what's pending.

You can also assign color codes to your annotations bubbles. Color codes are great to identify different kinds of comments, so your team can internally create a code based on the set of colors we provide, for example:

The best thing is that you can tag your teammates directly in the comments by typing an "@" before their names. They'll receive a notification in their Sympli Handoff account and their email if they have them enabled.

All the collaborators in a project can see the annotations, no matter which role they have.

You can use tags in your designs to group them by their statuses. See the example below that show them grouped by "To-Do,” "In Progress," and "Done" tags.

You can even invite your collaborators to see designs filtered by a tag. For example, you can invite the developers to your project with an applied filter so they’ll see the screens that are "Done,” therefore avoiding confusion with unfinished screens.

If you use Sketch, you can create tags and tag screens directly there; click here to see how.

The Jira integration is one of our key features for Enterprise and Business customers. We support both Jira Software Server and Jira Cloud, so with whatever set up your company has, you'll be able to integrate Sympli to your Jira projects and link design screens to your tickets.

To integrate your Jira projects to your Sympli Handoff account, you’ll need an access token generated when installing the Sympli Handoff add-on from Atlassian Marketplace. In your Sympli profile, paste this token in the corresponding field.

Once you’ve allowed the “Sympli” user that is created during installation to access your projects, you’re all set!

In any of your projects owned by an Enterprise or Business account, you’ll be able to select designs, click on “Link to Jira,” and type in the Jira ticket(s) you want to link them to:

You can see linked Jira issues in the right menu of the design screen:

In Jira, you’ll see the screen(s) attached to the ticket:

And all comments logged in the Jira ticket will be available directly in Sympli Handoff:

With our second product, Sympli Versions -- a version control tool for Designers, you can create transparent workflows like a design review process to streamline team collaboration on design mockups.
