Abstract
Techniques of managing design iterations include generating data linking selected snapshot histories with contextual notes within a single presentation environment. A designer may generate a design iteration in a design environment. Once the design iteration is complete, the designer may show a snapshot of the design iteration to a stakeholder. The stakeholder then may provide written contextual notes within the design environment. The computer links the contextual notes to the snapshot and stores the snapshot and contextual notes in a database. When the designer generates a new design iteration from the previous design iteration and the contextual notes, the computer generates a new snapshot and a link to the previous snapshot to form a timeline of snapshots. The designer may then present the snapshots, the timeline, and the contextual notes to the stakeholder as a coherent history of how the design of the mobile app evolved to its present state.
