Completing the Send For Review dialog box

Use the Send For Review dialog box to send a draft you’re editing, or a file from your computer, to someone for review.

  1. Select one of the following options:

    Note: These options are available if you are sending a draft for review. If you are sending a file for review, skip this step.
    Send E-mail with a link to a preview of the draft
    Uses the email review process. This option opens a message in your default email application. Contribute automatically adds a link to the preview of the draft, and you can select reviewers, and add a message.

    This review method is useful if you want to keep working on the draft while someone reviews it. Working on the draft does not affect the temporary draft posted for review. This review method is also useful for reviewers who do not have Contribute. For more information, see The draft review process.

    Send The Draft To Another Contribute User
    Uses the e-mail review process. This option opens a message in your default e-mail application. Contribute automatically adds a link to a preview of the draft, and you select the reviewers and add a message.

    This option sends the draft you are working on to the users you select.

    This review method is useful if you need another user to review, edit, or publish a draft for you. You cannot continue working on the draft after you send it for review. For more information, see The e-mail review process.

  2. Select the options for the review as follows:

    • If you selected the Send Draft To Another Contribute User option, select the name of the person you want to review the draft, and then enter comments for the reviewer.

      The Users list shows all users who have connected to this website. You can Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select multiple users.

      In the Comments section, you might want to tell the reviewer what has changed in the draft or maybe give the reviewer instructions about what to do with the draft after the review.

    • If you selected the Send Draft To Another Contribute User option, select Notify Recipients Through e-mail if you want to send an e-mail message to the reviewer.

      This option automatically launches your default e-mail application so that you can send an e-mail message to reviewers alerting them to check Contribute for a draft to review.

  3. Click Send.

For workflows other than Author > Publish, you have to send the document for review or approval before you can publish the web page. The Publish button is enabled only after the workflow is honored. If your role doesn’t allow you to publish directly to the website, you can send the draft to someone who can publish it. For more information on workflows, see The draft review process.
