The Queue
Proposed changes from teammates and AI assistants wait in the deck's Queue until a person reviews them and executes or rejects them.
The Queue holds proposed changes to a deck. They come from two places:
- A teammate's suggestion, made in the app with Suggest changes.
- An AI assistant's proposal, made through the AI connector.
Nothing on the pages changes until a person executes the proposal.
Where proposals show #
- The Queue tab in the right panel, with a count of what's waiting.
- A sparkle and a count on the thumbnail of every page a proposal changes.
- A dashed purple outline around every block a proposal changes.
Suggest changes #
Turn on Suggest changes in the toolbar to propose edits instead of making them.
- Tick Suggest changes. A Suggesting banner shows over the page.
- Edit as usual. Your changes show on the page, but they aren't saved into it. The banner counts them.
- Click Send to Queue… and say in a line what it's for.
To drop your drafted changes, click Discard. Turning Suggest changes off with drafted changes asks first.
What you can suggest #
- A text block's text, style and overrides.
- An image frame's image, fit and alt text. An image you upload while suggesting joins the deck's images; placing it is the suggestion.
- A page's name and status.
Layout can't be suggested: adding, moving, resizing or removing blocks and pages, and the deck's sheet size and theme. Turn Suggest changes off for those, or ask the deck master.
When Suggest is locked on #
Under the team rules Only the deck master and Page owners, for their pages, only the people who execute a page's proposals can change it directly. For everyone else, Suggest changes is on and locked, with a lock mark. Hover it to see who changes the page directly. See Team rules.
Review a proposal #
Open the Queue tab. Each card shows:
- Who made it. An AI assistant's proposal has an AI badge with the app's name. A teammate's has a suggestion badge.
- The request, in their words.
- Each change, with what it is now and what it would become. Click a change to select its block on the page.
- Checks to look at, like an image that's too low-resolution or text that won't fit its frame.
- Notes from the author.
- Under the strict team rules, Executes: says who can execute it.
Execute a proposal #
- Untick any changes you don't want. Some changes go together, like a new style and the blocks that use it, so they tick and untick as a pair.
- Optionally, write a note under Note back to the AI or Note back to the author.
- Click Execute, or Execute selected when you've unticked some.
The changes you kept are applied. The rest are recorded as declined. Changes whose block is gone by now are skipped. If nothing you picked still applies, you're asked whether to reject the proposal instead.
Errors in the checks don't block you. They're your call to overrule.
Reject or withdraw #
Click Reject to turn a proposal down, with your note if you wrote one. On your own suggestion, when you can't execute it yourself, the button says Withdraw.
Decided proposals #
Under Decided, the Queue lists recent decisions: executed or rejected, when, the request, how many changes were executed or declined, and the reviewer's note. An AI assistant sees the same, so it can read your note before it proposes again.
Who can execute #
That depends on the deck's team rule: anyone who can edit (the default), only the deck master, or the page owners for their pages. The rule is enforced when the deck saves, not just on screen. See Who executes proposals.
A viewer on the project sees the Queue but can't decide anything in it.
