JotGo helps teams report bugs, collect feedback and collaborate without the usual back-and-forth. Instead of asking users to explain technical issues, JotGo automatically captures the information developers need, making every report faster to create and easier to resolve. Whether you're a product manager, QA engineer, developer, customer support agent or stakeholder, JotGo keeps everyone on the same page from the moment an issue is reported.

What is JotGo?
JotGo is a bug reporting and product feedback platform that lets users capture issues directly from a website or web application.
With just a few clicks, users can:
Report bugs with screenshots or video recordings
Highlight and annotate specific areas
Automatically collect browser, device and technical details
Share feedback without leaving the application
Create developer-ready reports instantly
Instead of spending time asking follow-up questions, your team receives complete reports that are ready to investigate.
Why teams use JotGo
Most bug reports are incomplete.
A message like "The page is broken" doesn't tell developers enough to reproduce the issue.
JotGo automatically includes the important details that are usually missing, such as:
Browser
Screen resolution
Current page URL
Console errors
Network requests
User actions (when available)
Screenshots and recordings
User comments and annotations
This saves time for both the person reporting the issue and the team fixing it.
How JotGo works
Using JotGo is simple.
Open the JotGo browser extension.
Capture a screenshot or record your screen.
Highlight the problem using annotation tools.
Add a short description of the issue.
Submit the report.
JotGo automatically attaches technical information in the background and sends everything to your workspace, where your team can review, assign and track the issue.
Who is JotGo for?
JotGo is designed for every team involved in building digital products.
Product Managers
Collect clear customer feedback without long email threads.
QA Teams
Create detailed bug reports in seconds with all the technical context included.

"The issue has been reproduced in the staging environment."
"Waiting for QA verification."
"The fix has been deployed for testing."
Regular updates help everyone understand the current status of the issue.
Ask questions
If you need more information before resolving an issue, use comments to ask the reporter or your teammates.
For example:
Can you share the steps to reproduce this issue?
Does this happen on every browser?
Are you able to reproduce it consistently?
Can you test this again after the latest update?
Keeping questions within the issue ensures that all responses remain part of the issue history.
Mention teammates
Need input from a specific team member?
Use @mentions to notify them directly in a comment.
For example:
@Sarah Could you verify this issue in the staging environment?
Mentions help bring the right people into the conversation without creating separate discussions.
Keep discussions organized
Every comment is linked to the issue, creating a complete conversation history.
This allows your team to:
Review previous discussions
Understand why decisions were made
Track progress over time
Reduce repeated questions
Anyone joining the project later can quickly catch up by reading the conversation.
Share attachments
Comments can include supporting files to provide additional context.
Depending on your workspace settings, you can attach:
Screenshots
Screen recordings
Documents
Log files
Error reports
Other relevant files
Attachments help teammates better understand the issue without leaving the conversation.
Best practices
To keep discussions clear and productive:
Keep comments focused on the issue.
Share meaningful updates as work progresses.
Ask clear and specific questions.
Use @mentions only when someone needs to take action.
Avoid creating duplicate comments.
Keep all issue-related communication within the comment thread.

mng-assignment
Issue assignment & ownership
Assigning every issue to the right person helps your team stay organized and ensures that nothing gets overlooked. With JotGo, you can assign ownership, track responsibility and monitor progress from the moment an issue is reported until it's resolved.
2
Bug & Feedback Management
bug-feedback-management
3
Whether you're working with a small team or managing multiple projects, clear ownership keeps everyone accountable and work moving forward.
Why assign issue ownership?
Without a clear owner, issues can remain unresolved or be worked on by multiple people at the same time.
Assigning an owner helps your team:
Clarify who is responsible for each issue
Avoid duplicate work
Improve team accountability
Balance workloads across team members
Track progress more effectively
Ensure issues are resolved on time
Every issue should have a single owner, even if multiple people collaborate on it.
Assign an issue
Assigning an issue takes just a few clicks.
Open the issue from your workspace.
Locate the Assignee field.
Select a team member from the list.
Save your changes.
The selected user becomes the owner of the issue and is responsible for driving it toward resolution.
Reassign ownership
Sometimes priorities change or another team member is better suited to handle the issue.
You can easily reassign ownership at any time.
Common reasons to reassign an issue include:
The issue belongs to a different team.
A specialist is needed.
Team responsibilities have changed.
The original assignee is unavailable.
The issue history keeps track of assignment changes, providing visibility into who handled the issue and when.
View assigned issues
Team members can quickly see the issues assigned to them.
This helps them:
Focus on their current workload
Prioritize important tasks
Track pending work
Stay organized throughout the project
Managers can also review assignments across the team to ensure work is distributed evenly.
Update issue status
Ownership works together with issue status to keep everyone informed.
As work progresses, update the issue status to reflect its current stage.
Typical statuses include:
To Do
In Progress
In Review
Done
Accepted
Blocked
Withdrawn
Not Applicable
Reopen
Keeping statuses up to date gives the entire team visibility into project progress.
Collaborate on assigned issues
Even though one person owns an issue, others can still contribute.
Team members can:
Add comments
Share updates
Upload attachments
Mention teammates
Review bug reports
Provide testing feedback
This keeps all discussions and decisions in one place.
Best practices
Follow these recommendations to keep issue management efficient:
Assign a clear owner as soon as a new issue is reviewed.
Choose the team member best suited to resolve the issue.
Update the issue status regularly.
Reassign issues if priorities or responsibilities change.
Add comments when handing an issue to another team member.
Close issues only after the fix has been verified.
These habits help improve collaboration and prevent issues from being forgotten.
Example workflow
Issue Reported
A user reports that the login page displays an error after entering valid credentials.
Assignment
The issue is assigned to a frontend developer responsible for authentication.
Progress
Status changes from New to In Progress.
The developer investigates and implements a fix.
The issue is reassigned to the QA team for verification.
QA confirms the fix and updates the status to Resolved.
After final validation, the issue is marked as Closed.
Why ownership matters
Clear ownership ensures that every issue has someone responsible for investigating, updating and resolving it. This improves accountability, reduces delays and helps teams collaborate more effectively from start to finish.

Keep discussions focused on the issue.
Respond to guest comments promptly.
Following these practices helps maintain an organized and secure collaboration process.
Example
Scenario
A client reports that the Checkout page displays an error during payment.
The support team creates a bug report and shares it using a public link.
The client opens the link and comments:
"This issue occurs only when paying with a credit card. PayPal works as expected."
The developer replies:
"Thank you for the additional information. We've identified the cause and are preparing a fix."
After the fix is deployed, the QA team asks the client to verify it.
The client confirms:
"The issue has been resolved. Payment is working correctly now."
The entire conversation remains attached to the issue, making it easy to review at any time.
Why guest commenting matters
Great products are built through collaboration. Guest Access & Commenting allows clients, partners and stakeholders to participate in the feedback process without giving them full access to your workspace. This keeps communication simple, organized and connected to the issue from start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do guests need a JotGo account?
No. Guests can comment on a shared issue without signing in to JotGo.
What happens after a guest submits a comment?
The comment is added to the issue, making it immediately available for your team to review and respond to.

"The button on the page isn't working."
You can highlight the button, point to it with an arrow and add a comment explaining the issue.
This helps developers and designers identify the problem much faster.
Available annotation tools
JotGo provides a set of simple tools to clearly communicate visual feedback.
Arrow
Point to a specific element or area on the screen.
Best for:
Broken buttons
Incorrect icons
Missing content
UI elements
Rectangle
Draw a box around the affected area.
Best for:
Layout issues
Forms
Cards
Sections with incorrect styling
Circle
Highlight smaller elements that need attention.
Best for:
Icons
Buttons
Images
Individual text fields
Freehand Drawing
Draw freely to emphasize important areas.
Best for:
Complex UI issues

You can blur:
Email addresses
Phone numbers
Personal details
Payment information
Account numbers
This helps protect user privacy while sharing reports.
How to annotate a screenshot
Capture a screenshot.
The annotation editor will open automatically.
Select the tool you want to use.
Highlight or comment on the affected area.
Review your annotations.
Click “Comment” and give your feedback / issue description
Submit your report.
Your annotations become part of the bug report and are visible to everyone reviewing the issue.
Tips for effective annotations
Keep your annotations simple and focused.
✔ Highlight only the affected area.
✔ Add short, meaningful comments.
✔ Use arrows to indicate the exact location.
✔ Avoid covering important parts of the interface.
✔ Remove unnecessary drawings before submitting.
A clean and focused annotation makes reports easier to understand.
Example
Before annotation
A screenshot shows an entire dashboard, but it's not clear what the problem is.
After annotation
An arrow points to the Export button.
A rectangle highlights the affected section.
A comment says:
"Clicking this button does not download the report."
The issue is now immediately clear to anyone reviewing the report.
Best practices
To create clear and helpful reports:
Use one annotation for each issue whenever possible.
Keep comments short and specific.
Highlight the smallest area necessary.
Blur sensitive information before sharing.
Review your screenshot before submitting.
Well-annotated reports reduce misunderstandings and help teams resolve issues faster.
Why annotations matter
Visual feedback is often easier to understand than written descriptions alone. By combining screenshots with annotations, your team can quickly identify the issue, understand its impact and begin working on a solution without asking for additional clarification.

Bug & Feedback Management
bug-feedback-management
3
Using priorities and statuses together gives your team a clear understanding of what needs attention, what is being worked on and what has already been resolved.
Why use priorities and statuses?
As the number of reported issues grows, it becomes important to organize work effectively.
With priority and status management, your team can:
Focus on the most critical issues first
Track progress throughout the issue lifecycle
Improve planning and resource allocation
Keep everyone informed about current work
Prevent important issues from being overlooked
This creates a structured workflow that helps teams deliver fixes more efficiently.
Set issue priority
Priority indicates how urgently an issue should be addressed.
When reviewing a new report, assign the appropriate priority based on its impact and urgency.
Common priority levels include:
Blocker
Issues that prevent users from using the application or affect core functionality.
Examples:
Users cannot log in
Payment processing fails
Application crashes
Major security issues
These issues should be addressed immediately.
Critical
Important issues that significantly affect users but may have temporary workarounds.
Examples:
Major features not working
Broken navigation
Data synchronization problems
These issues should be prioritized for the next available fix.
High
Issues that affect usability but do not block core functionality.
Examples:
Minor UI problems
Validation errors
Incorrect messages
Performance issues affecting specific workflows
These can be scheduled alongside regular development work.
Low
Minor issues with limited impact on the user experience.
Examples:
Typographical errors
Small design inconsistencies
Cosmetic layout issues
These can usually be resolved in future maintenance releases.
Update issue status
Status shows where an issue is in its lifecycle.
As work progresses, update the status to reflect the current stage.
A typical workflow includes:
To Do
The issue has been created and is waiting to be worked on.
In Progress
Work on the issue is currently underway.
In Review
The issue is under Review / Testing.
Done
The issue has been completed successfully.
Accepted
The issue has been reviewed and approved.
Blocked
Progress is temporarily prevented due to a dependency or obstacle.
Withdrawn
The issue has been removed or is no longer being pursued.
Not Applicable
The issue does not apply to the current project or scenario.
Reopen
A previously closed issue has been reopened for further investigation or fixes.
Manage your workflow
As work moves forward, update both the priority and status when needed.
For example:
Increase the priority if more users are affected.
Lower the priority if a temporary workaround is available.
Update the status whenever the issue changes stages.
Reopen an issue if the problem occurs again after being resolved.
Keeping these fields up to date gives your team an accurate view of ongoing work.
Filter by priority and status
JotGo makes it easy to find the issues that matter most.
You can filter reports by:
Priority level
Current status
Assigned team member
Labels
Reporter
Date created
These filters help teams quickly identify urgent work and monitor overall progress.
Best practices
To keep your issue tracker organized:
Assign a priority as soon as an issue is reviewed.
Update the status whenever work progresses.
Review high-priority issues regularly.
Reassess priorities if the impact changes.
Close issues only after testing confirms the fix.
Reopen issues if the problem returns.
A consistent workflow improves visibility and keeps the team aligned.
Example workflow
Issue
Users receive an error while uploading files.
Priority
High
Status Progress
In Progress - Work on the issue is currently underway.
Each status update provides visibility into the issue's progress and keeps everyone informed.
Why it matters
Priority helps your team decide what to work on first, while status shows where each issue is in the workflow. Together, they provide a clear picture of your project's health and ensure that important issues receive the attention they deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change an issue's priority?
Yes. Priorities can be updated at any time if the impact or urgency of the issue changes.
Can an issue move back to a previous status?
Yes. For example, if QA finds that a fix doesn't resolve the problem, the issue can move from “In Review” back to In Progress or updated to Reopen. Also, if any user changes the status by mistake, it can be moved back to its previous status again.
Can I customize priorities and statuses?
Depending on your workspace configuration, your organization may customize priorities and workflow statuses to match its internal processes.

Why use role-based access?
Using roles and permissions helps your organization:
Protect sensitive project information
Control who can manage workspace settings
Prevent accidental changes
Ensure team members only access what they need
Improve security and accountability
Support teams of all sizes
Whether you have five users or hundreds, role-based access keeps your workspace secure and well-organized.
Common user roles
Depending on your workspace configuration, you may have roles such as:
Project Admin
Administrators have full access to the workspace.
They can:
Manage workspace settings
Invite and remove users
Assign user roles
Manage projects
View and manage all issues
Configure integrations
Access reports and analytics
This role is typically assigned to team leads or workspace owners.
Project Editor
Managers oversee projects and team activities.
They can:
View all assigned projects
Assign issues
Update issue priorities and statuses

Session Replay
Sometimes a screenshot or video recording isn't enough to understand how an issue happened. Session Replay lets your team watch the user's journey leading up to the bug, making it easier to reproduce and resolve issues. Instead of relying on written descriptions, developers can see the exact sequence of actions that occurred before the problem appeared.

What is Session Replay?
Session Replay records how users interact with your application during a session. It captures user actions such as clicks, scrolling, navigation and form interactions, allowing your team to replay the session later.
This provides valuable context that helps developers understand what happened before, during and after an issue occurred.
Why use Session Replay?
Session Replay helps your team answer important questions like:
How did the user reach this page?
What actions triggered the issue?
Was the problem caused by a specific workflow?
Can the issue be reproduced consistently?
What happened immediately before the error?
Having this context reduces guesswork and speeds up troubleshooting.
What Session Replay captures
JotGo can capture:
Page navigation
Mouse clicks and interactions
Scrolling activity
Form interactions
User interface changes
Page loading events
Session timeline
This information creates a replay of the user's experience without requiring them to record their screen manually.
How Session Replay works
A user interacts with your application.
JotGo securely records supported interactions in the background.
When a bug or feedback report is submitted, the related session is linked to the report.
Developers can open the session replay directly from the issue details.
The session can be replayed to understand exactly what happened.
This makes it much easier to reproduce issues that are difficult to explain with text alone.
View a session replay
To review a recorded session:
Open the reported issue in your JotGo workspace.
Navigate to the Session Replay section.
Click View Instant Replay.
Watch the user's interactions leading up to the issue.
Pause, rewind or skip through the timeline to inspect specific actions.
This allows developers to investigate issues step by step.
Benefits of Session Replay
Using Session Replay helps your team:
Reproduce bugs more accurately
Understand user behavior before an issue occurs
Reduce follow-up questions
Investigate complex workflows
Resolve issues faster
Improve the overall user experience
Instead of guessing what happened, your team can see it.
Best practices
To get the most value from Session Replay:
Pair Session Replay with screenshots or video recordings for complete context.
Add a clear issue title and description.
Use session data alongside technical diagnostics for faster root cause analysis.
Combining visual evidence, technical details, and session replay creates a complete picture of the issue.
Example
Issue Title
Checkout page freezes after selecting a payment method
Issue Report Includes
Screenshot of the error
Screen recording of the workflow
Automatic technical diagnostics
Linked Session Replay
Session Replay shows
User added items to the cart.
User selected a payment method.
User clicked Pay Now.
Loading spinner appeared and never completed.
No further interaction was possible.
With this replay, developers can quickly identify the workflow that triggered the issue and begin investigating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Session Replay record my entire screen?
No. Session Replay records interactions within the supported application or website, based on the user’s actions.
Is Session Replay always enabled?
Yes, Session Replay is always enabled.
Can I view Session Replay for every report?
Any user other than a guest user, can view the Session Replay from the issue details.
