This guide is for teams working with Clickup to track project progress, but it would apply to other similar managment software such as Jira.
An important thing about Magma files, is that they all have unique URLs. This makes them easy to share and access in various places, wehther in an email thread or a Clickup ticket.
Example 1: Sharing a reference board for a task
One approach is to have a primary canvas for a task set up as a custom field on Clickup. This could be the main working file for a concept or moodboard.
To add a custom field, find the option in the Details section.
Then select Website as the type and add Magma Link as the Field name.
The custom field will now be available for you to plug your Magma canvas links.
In the example of a reference board,
first create a new canvas;
drag and drop the images onto the board;
copy the link from the address bar at the top of your browser window or grab it from the Share button;
Paste that link into your custom field on the Clickup ticket.
That same link can be used in the Magma Reference window if an artist intends to sketch on another Magma canvas as well.
Example 2: Sharing for feedback and review
While working on a task, you may want to share a specific version for review. This could instead be added as a comment to to the task.
Similar to the above example, you could use the custom field to link the primary working file for both the artist and art director to return to. Alternatively, new versions can be added in a sequence panel and then linked in the task activity.
Different link options
You have two options for sharing a canvas for viewing:
editable canvas where artist or reviewer can make changes, leave comments and redline the work;
or a read-only file only for viewing. This can be done by first creating a new version in the File menu, and then going to the Version History, opening the action menu for the revision and selecting Preview in new tab.
Adding to sequence panel
Duplicating and demonstrating or implementing feedback
If a reviewer has left notes on a canvas, instead of working on top of that, you could create a duplicate of the canvas in your sequence panel to implement the feedback.
The benefit to this approach is being able to keep track of the feedback at different stages of the task.
