Hi Megane, thanks the reply and explanation! I think Replay *can* be a collaboration tool for everything, but as of right now, it's really only designed for video.
Here's a very basic test case on how it doesn't work for other formats: Try to leave a pointed (a highlighted area or box, or in some way connect a comment to a particular point on the canvas) comment on a PDF. This test case fails.
Replay has great potential though! Looking forward to continued progress,

As someone who uses Replay only for video, I had actually forgotten it was intended for any file type.
As of today, I see annotation tools like pen, line, colour picker, and an icon to post my drawing as a comment. These seems to work well, so if you don't have these yet I expect you will soon. DB does roll out new features to batches of users to test things.
All the best.
