Visual Context & Iterative Refinement
Use screenshots and element selection to refine designs precisely.
Exercise 3.1: Design Review Simulation
Goal: Refine a page through 5+ iterative prompts using visual context — just like giving feedback in a design review.
Setup
- Open the project you built in Exercise 2.1 (or create a new dashboard:
@solar /initiate Review Sim) - If starting fresh, create a dashboard: "create a dashboard with 4 stat cards and a bar chart showing monthly revenue"
- Turn on the
</>Share with Agent toggle in the Simple Browser toolbar (top-right corner) - Take a "before" screenshot of the page — you'll need it for your submission
Required Iterations
Complete at least 5 refinements, covering each of these categories:
1. Layout or Spacing Change
Use #browser to show @solar the current layout, then ask for a spacing or alignment fix.
Example: #browser the stat cards are too cramped — add more space between them and make them equal width
2. Component or Data Change
Add, remove, or swap a component on the page.
Example: add a search field and a status dropdown filter above the data table
3. Element-Level Change (using ↖ Add Element to Chat)
Click the ↖ pointer icon in the Simple Browser toolbar, click on a specific element, then describe the change.
Example: Click on the chart → change this to a line chart with a smooth curve
4. Responsive Layout Fix
Ask @solar to make the page work better on smaller screens.
Example: make this page responsive — cards should stack on mobile and the chart should be full width
5. Visual Polish
Fix typography, icons, colors, or any other visual detail to make the page demo-ready.
Example: make the page title larger, add a subtitle showing today's date, and add an Export button aligned right
6+ More (optional)
Continue refining until you're satisfied. Most pages need 5–8 iterations to reach presentation quality.
Self-Check Before Submitting
- Did you turn on the
</>Share with Agent toggle? - Did you use
#browserin at least one prompt? - Did you use ↖ Add element to chat in at least one prompt?
- Is there a visible improvement between your before and after screenshots?
- Does the page look good at both desktop and mobile widths?
Deliverable
Upload via Microsoft Forms:
- Before screenshot (after initial creation, before refinements)
- After screenshot (after 5+ refinements)
- List of the 5+ prompts you used (copy-paste from Copilot Chat)
Success Criteria
- Visible, meaningful improvement between before and after
- At least 5 distinct refinement prompts
- At least one prompt used
#browserfor visual context - At least one prompt used ↖ Add element to chat for element-level feedback
- Page is responsive (looks reasonable when the browser panel is narrow)
