Finding the canvas or comment you're looking for in Pastel is easy. Our dashboard and canvases both feature a simple search bar you can use to find anything.
In a Canvas
In a canvas, you can use the search bar to find comments by entering a commenter's name or keywords from the comment text.
Sorting Comments
Sort comments by newest first, oldest first or by page to quickly locate feedback.
Filtering Comments
You can filter comments by status. Click on the Status button to select which statuses you’d like to view in the sidebar - you can select multiple statuses at the same time.
You can access additional filters by clicking on the Filter button. You are able to filter based on things like who left the comment, the time comments were left, labels, who the comment is assigned to, and more.
When a canvas has many comments across multiple pages, you can use the 'All comments on current page only' toggle to display only the comments on the page or file you are currently viewing.
Whenever there are new unread comments on a canvas, you can also filter on unread comments only by clicking “See new activity” at the top of the sidebar.
Searching in the Dashboard
In the dashboard, you can sort canvases by Most recent or By name. You can also filter canvases by type (website, images, etc.) and by creation date.
Finding a specific canvas is even easier with global search. Click the search icon in the sidebar on the left - or hit ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) - to search every canvas and project in your account from one place. No need to open the right project folder first.
You can search by canvas name, website URL, or canvas creator. Before you start typing, you'll see your Recently Opened Canvases, which is often all you need to jump back into what you were working on. Each result shows a thumbnail, the canvas type, when it was last opened, and how many comments it has.
You can move through search entirely from the keyboard:
↑ / ↓ - navigate between results
Enter - open the selected canvas
Alt + Enter - open the more actions menu
Esc - close search
Taking action on a search result
You don't have to open a canvas to manage it. Hover over any search result and click the ··· button on the right to open the More actions menu.
From here you can select:
Canvas settings (S) - open the settings for that canvas
Move canvas (M) - move the canvas into a different project
Archive canvas (A) - archive the canvas to clear it off your dashboard
Delete canvas (Ctrl+Del) - permanently delete the canvas
Each action has a keyboard shortcut listed next to it, so you can search, select, and act without touching your mouse.
