Real-time collaboration tools have become standard in every other area of the design workflow — Figma for visual design, Notion for documentation, Linear for development tasks. But when it comes to reviewing the actual live website, most Divi teams fall back on scattered emails and voice calls.
Divi Review Hub is the Divi collaboration plugin that closes this gap. It brings structured, in-context collaboration directly to the frontend of your live Divi pages, without adding another SaaS tool to your stack.
What Collaboration Actually Means on a Divi Site
Collaboration on a Divi website means different people — developers, designers, copywriters, clients — being able to communicate clearly about specific parts of a specific page, track what has been discussed, and know when it is done.
It does not mean giving everyone edit access in the Divi Builder. That is the wrong tool for this job and creates more problems than it solves. What it means is having a dedicated layer on top of the built site where feedback and decisions live.
That is exactly what Divi Review Hub provides.
The Core Collaboration Features
Pinned Comments on Any Element
Every team member with access to review mode can place pinned comments anywhere on the page — on a specific headline, a button, a hero image, a footer link. Comments snap to the nearest Divi element so they stay accurate across layout updates.
Role-Based Permissions
Not every collaborator needs the same level of access. Divi Review Hub lets you configure three permission tiers independently: Who Can View and Comment, Who Can Resolve, and Who Can Assign. A client can comment but cannot resolve or assign. A developer can mark things resolved. A project manager can assign tasks to team members.
This is real, functional role management — not just an on/off switch.
@Mentions and Email Notifications
Type @DisplayName in any comment or reply to notify that team member directly. They receive an email with a link back to the exact comment thread. Combined with email notifications for new assignments, the right people are always informed without needing to actively poll the project.
Task Board View
Divi Review Hub includes a Task Board view in the admin dashboard — a Kanban-style overview of all open, in-progress, stuck, and resolved comments across your pages. Project managers get a clear view of the team's workload without holding a status meeting.
Guest Collaboration for Clients
Clients participate in the collaboration through the guest access system. They receive a link, click it, and are immediately in review mode on the page. They can place comments and reply to threads — their contributions appear alongside the team's in real time.
The clean separation between client access (via guest link) and team access (via WordPress role) means clients get a polished, professional experience without being exposed to the WordPress backend.
Per-Page Control Over Review Mode
You do not want review mode active on every page of your live site at all times. Divi Review Hub gives you two options: enable review mode globally (useful while a site is in active development) or enable it per page from the Review Hub tab in the admin. This means you can leave production pages untouched while keeping development and staging pages open for feedback.
Slack Integration: Bringing It Into Your Team's Hub
If your team uses Slack as its collaboration hub, Divi Review Hub connects directly to it. Set up an incoming webhook and the plugin posts notifications to your chosen channel whenever a comment is added or resolved. Teams that already have a Slack workflow for project communication will find this integration natural and immediately useful.
Near-Real-Time Collaboration
Divi Review Hub automatically polls for new comments every 20 seconds while review mode is active. When a teammate or client places a new pin, it appears on your page without a manual refresh — a brief pulse on the Review Hub toolbar signals new activity. This makes collaborative review sessions genuinely interactive.
Export and Documentation
At the end of a review cycle, export a full HTML report of all comment threads on a page. The report includes timestamps, statuses, and the full conversation — useful for client sign-off records, project audits, or onboarding a new team member mid-project.
Why Agencies Choose Divi Review Hub
Agencies that build on Divi need tools that fit their existing environment rather than adding to the complexity of an already complex stack. Divi Review Hub installs like any WordPress plugin, works immediately within Divi's frontend, and does not require onboarding clients to a new platform.
The result is a collaboration workflow that feels professional and frictionless for everyone involved — which is how client relationships should feel.
