The default options include “Approve”, “Approve with Changes”, or “Revisions Required”. Note that these options may be customized for each account. For more on approvals, check out our knowledgebase.
-
How do I share a Review once I’m ready to gather feedback?
After you upload the files to the Review, you can go to the Share menu to select the users and guests you want to share it with. You can then use the “Notify” tab on the Share menu to send out an email notification to any or all the users and guests you specify. As an alternative to this notification email, you can copy/paste and share the Review link.
-
How can I keep track of tasks required to complete a project?
All feedback can be turned into revision requests by converting them to tasks and assigning them to specific users. From the main Dashboard, these users can quickly find any open tasks assigned to them across all Projects and all Reviews. Within a Review, users can filter the comments to show only their open tasks (as tasks are marked as completed, they will be hidden from the list). Admins can also keep track of the progress of task completion by all users across all Projects.
-
Can I select and highlight text?
If you upload a document that contains text, the toolbar will show enabled text markup options. These include highlight, select, delete, underline and insert. You can also copy/paste the selected text into a comment to indicate edits.
