Stamps, emotes, and high-fives

Visual representations of feedback and reactions can be more effective than text. Stamps and emotes are icons used to do just this!

Stamps can be placed in a file for visual feedback. These are great for both live and async collaboration.

Emotes are temporary and great for live, energetic reactions with others who are active in a file.

Stamps

Stamps are curated stickers you can place on the board or object to communicate feedback.

User stamps to:
