What Happened to Comments in Revit Connector?

Help
1

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to use Speckle comments as a markup-style collaboration tool directly within Revit. I recall this used to be possible—comments were visible in the Add-in panel—but it seems this feature is no longer available in the latest connectors.

I looked a bit into it and found that:

  • In Connector 2.10, it looks like comment viewing was added to the Speckle Panel in Revit (release notes).
  • However, in version 2.22.1, the feature appears to have been intentionally removed (GitHub changelog, see #3696).

I couldn’t find a public explanation for its removal, or any mention of whether it’s planned to return—maybe as part of the next-gen connectors?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Also happy to test or provide more info if helpful :folded_hands:

Hey @tina_lgsft,

We had to remove it due to some SDK changes in the server and connectors.

We are planning to bring it back with the next-gen connectors as part of a revamped comments feature. I can’t provide any timeline, but I just wanted to share that we are aware of this.
