How do Review Apps facilitate collaboration for designers and product managers?

Review Apps facilitate collaboration for designers and product managers primarily by enabling one-click access to preview the branch. This feature provides an immediate and visual representation of the changes being made in a specific branch of the codebase. Designers and product managers can easily access these preview environments without needing to set up complex local environments or deployments, allowing them to see the latest updates and modifications in real-time.

This immediacy enhances communication among team members, as designers can provide visual feedback directly on the implementation, while product managers can assess features before they are merged into the main branch. The ability to have distinct, temporary environments for every feature or branch streamlines the feedback process, significantly accelerating the development cycle and ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned on project deliverables.

In contrast, options related to running applications locally, providing dedicated testing environments, or automatically merging code changes do not directly address the specific collaboration aspect emphasized by Review Apps. These options, while beneficial in their own contexts, do not highlight the ease of access and the seamless collaboration that comes from one-click previews.
