Rounds

Rounds are like Figma pages — each round is a complete iteration board with its own concepts and versions.

When to Use Rounds

Most projects start in Round 1. You explore directions, iterate, and star your picks. When you’re ready for client feedback or a new phase:

1. Close the round — snapshot your starred versions as the approved baseline
2. Create a new round — selected designs carry forward into a fresh board
3. Iterate in Round 2 — new versions build on the approved baseline

Closing a Round

Star the versions you want to approve, then close the round via the command palette (Cmd+K → “Close round”). This:

• Saves your starred versions as the “selects” (approved baseline)
• Locks the round (no more changes)
• Shows a timestamp

Creating a New Round

After closing, create Round 2 from your selects. Each approved design becomes the starting point for its concept column in the new round. HTML files are copied — edits in Round 2 don’t affect Round 1.

Round Switcher

When multiple rounds exist, a switcher appears in the top-right: R1 R2 R3. Click to switch between rounds. The round label is hidden when only one round exists — you don’t need to think about rounds until you need them.

How Agents Use Rounds

Your agent can:

• close_round() — finalize the current round with selects
• create_round() — start a new round from selections
• get_round_baseline() — read the approved versions from a closed round (useful context for Round 2 work)

Rounds and Share Links

Each round has its own pinned share URL. When you publish Round 1, clients bookmark that link and see every republish at the same URL. When you create Round 2, DriftGrid mints a new URL for the new board — the Round 1 link stays alive for historical review.

This maps cleanly to how client feedback actually works: one link per presentation cycle, updated in place as you iterate, and a clean break when you move into a new phase. See Sharing & Review for the full share model.
