Integrated review and revision of digital content

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processing device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute program code stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium and thereby perform operations comprising:
• accessing, by a review application, a review file containing a text-based comment describing a change to an object in a design file, wherein the design file is created and editable in a design application different from the review application;
• determining, from the text-based comment, a tool in the design application configured to implement the change to the object described in the text-based comment;
• updating a user interface of the review application to include a user interface of the tool along with the text-based comment;
• receiving, through the user interface of the tool, a confirmation of applying the change to the object in the design file;
• and
• causing the change to the object to be applied to the design file.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code that is stored thereon, the program code executable by one or more processing devices for performing operations comprising:

• accessing, by a review application, a review file containing a text-based comment describing a change to an object in a design file, wherein the design file is created and editable in a design application different from the review application;
• a step for generating a user interface that includes the text-based comment and an interface element for activating a tool in the design application that implements the change;
• and
• causing the change to the object to be applied to the design file.
