Access new review drafts

Adobe Contribute is configured to check for new review drafts and to synchronize them with the available drafts for connected websites and blogs in the background. The next time you edit an existing review draft, Contribute automatically checks for new review drafts, downloads them, and displays them in the Pages panel along with a notification in the status bar indicating that there are new review drafts for review. Alternatively, you can manually check for new drafts by clicking the Refresh icon. The new draft sent for review is listed in the Drafts To Review area in the Draft Console page. As a result, the process of starting Contribute is not delayed.

  1. Click the Draft Console link in the Pages panel.

    Note: The Draft Console will not be available if you do not have a website connection that has an administrator assigned to it.

    The Draft Console displays links to all the drafts you have sent, and all the drafts you are editing or approving. Every dispatched draft has status information.

    Note: Contribute removes published and deleted drafts from the Draft Console every 30 days. If you want to manually remove outdated drafts, press Control+Shift while selecting View > Refresh Drafts.
  2. If you want to view a draft, select the draft title.

    The draft appears in Contribute; you can click the Draft Console link to return to the Draft Console.

  3. To update your view at any time, do one of the following:

    • Click the Refresh Drafts icon in the Draft console panel.

    • Select View > Refresh Drafts.

    If there are new review drafts, Contribute downloads them, and displays them in the Pages panel, along with a notification in the status bar indicating that there are new review drafts for review.

    While you are editing a draft, if Contribute delivers an updated version of an earlier review, you can delete the earlier draft. This delete operation does not force Contribute to check for new review drafts, and therefore, improves the performance of Contribute.
