New feature
Global comments sidebar brings every comment in a project into one sidebar. Each comment keeps a durable reference to the file it was made on, so context survives as canvases change.
Comments stay anchored to what they point at since conversations are now projected shapes on the canvas, so pins track their target as shapes move, get grouped or are connected with arrows.
Richer 3D and CAD comments show the part a comment was left on in the CAD Explorer. Clicking a part name filters the comments list to that part, and filter chips carry the icon of the app the comment came from.
Shareable canvas page links give canvas pages real URLs, so you can link someone straight to the page you are looking at.
Timestamped comments on canvas videos pin a comment to the moment it refers to, so feedback lands on the right frame.
