HTML Review

Review static HTML pages in PRs, branches, and drafts.

Commentary opens .html and .htm files in the same document-first workspace as Markdown, with sandboxed Preview, Raw source, outline navigation, and app-native comments.

Use HTML Review for document-like pages, generated reports, static docs output, and HTML briefs. Use Live Preview Reviews when the real running app and JavaScript behavior matter.

  • Static HTML
  • Sandboxed Preview
  • Raw source
  • Semantic anchors

Static HTML gets a readable, safe review surface.

Preview mode shows the document-like page, Raw mode keeps source nearby, and the review shell explains when active page behavior was blocked for safety.

HTML review model

  • PreviewRender static HTML in a sandboxed review pane.
  • RawInspect exact HTML source when structure or generated output matters.
  • AnchorsComment on headings, sections, rows, cards, figures, and other stable blocks.

Workflow.

Open HTML where it already lives, review the rendered static page first, and use Raw mode only when source detail matters.

  1. 01

    Open HTML

    Start from a PR, branch, repository file, folder, or draft upload.

  2. 02

    Read Preview

    Review the static page in a sandboxed rendered mode.

  3. 03

    Comment on blocks

    Attach feedback to headings, sections, tables, cards, or figures.

  4. 04

    Resolve safely

    Keep app-native threads primary and sync conservatively when provider mapping is reliable.

Document-like HTML without browser-surprise behavior.

HTML Review is deliberately different from a live app preview. It gives static pages a reviewable document surface while blocking active behavior that would make review unsafe or misleading.

Works across review routes.

Static HTML files are supported in PR reviews, branch/document reviews, and Draft Reviews.

Sandboxed by default.

Scripts, event handlers, dangerous URLs, and active embeds are removed or blocked before review.

Conservative sync.

When a rendered HTML comment cannot be mapped to reliable provider source lines, the thread stays app-native or syncs with file-level context.

Current boundaries

Static HTML Review is not a live deployment preview.

JavaScript execution, multi-page crawling, full browser fidelity, and visual HTML diff are outside this surface. Use Live Preview Reviews for opted-in running apps.
