Let’s kick off this series with some tester chat hacks! Something y’all may or may not know is that I offer chat moderation as a service. It is completely separate from my editing services. This part of my business has brought me a lot of joy this last year, watching patterns be brought to life by all of these talented makers. Helping to troubleshoot patterns, bring forth clarification, all of the things. It’s truly been a blast!
Over the last year, I’ve noticed some things that help chats run a lot smoother, and I wanted to share them, to hopefully make life easier for everyone – designers and testers alike. This is the first installment of three!
The biggest “hack” has been to use Google Docs! This platform setup has been amazing where it truly makes collaboration (which, hello testing!) simplified and easier!
- As the designer, you can give everyone “Commenting” privileges where they can leave feedback and thoughts as they are working through the pattern, but do not change the pattern – you get the final say. Something comes up that isn’t critical, ask for a note to be made to remember later.
- The other great part – everyone has ALL updates IMMEDIATELY and can adjust accordingly. No more sending out 10 emails for every update. Just share in the group to do a document refresh and they are good to go!
