Ask a Client for Project Feedback in Portuguese

Help a client give useful feedback by asking which details work, what needs changing, and who approves the revision.

The short answer

Feedback is often called retorno or comentários in Portuguese. Ask the client to focus on a section, detail, or goal rather than saying only O que achou? (What did you think?).

Invite feedback on a specific part

Mention which version they are reviewing and what kind of feedback is most useful right now: content, layout, tone, or a missing detail.

Você pode comentar o tom e a clareza desta seção?

Could you comment on the tone and clarity of this section?

Esta versão corresponde ao objetivo que combinamos?

Does this version match the goal we agreed on?

Clarify a revision request

Revisão is revision, and comentário is a comment. If feedback is vague, ask for an example or ask the client to rank the requested changes by priority.

Confirm how many revision rounds remain under the current scope before committing to additional changes.

Você pode indicar um exemplo do que gostaria de mudar?

Could you point to an example of what you would like to change?

Qual destas mudanças é mais importante?

Which of these changes is most important?

Confirm approval and close the review

Use aprovar to approve and versão final for final version. Ask who can approve the work and how they want that approval recorded.

Once you receive feedback, summarize the agreed revisions and date. This creates a shared understanding before you prepare the next version.

Depois desta revisão, quem aprova a versão final?

After this revision, who approves the final version?

Vou aplicar os três ajustes até sexta-feira.

I'll apply the three adjustments by Friday.

Put it into practice

Ask for focused comments, turn vague requests into examples, and confirm who approves the final version.
