Review Ribbon

Various options are available in the Review ribbon for dealing with topic reviews.

Opens the Send File for Review Wizard, which lets you specify settings and send the open file to others so that they can review it. See Sending Files for Review on Central or Sending Files for Review in Contributor or Flare.

Opens the File Reviews window pane, which lets you see files that have been reviewed from others and are pending acceptance.

It also lets you see a list of files that you have sent out for review.

Opens a dialog, which lets you import reviewed files into your project. After that, you can view and/or accept the file. You might use this feature, for example, if you have received a file from a reviewer, but rather than immediately sending the file to your Inbox from the email message, you saved it to your local drive. See Importing Reviewed Files.

Opens the Review Packages window pane, which displays all of the files contained in a review package received from another Flare author. From this window pane you can open the files to review and edit them. See Review Workflow—Receiving From Others and Review Packages Window Pane.

Adds an annotation rectangle, extended to a sidebar to the right, with a line pointing to the selected content. This rectangle will hold annotation text after you type it. Also, the selected content is shaded, indicating that the annotation refers to that text. However, the shading will not be displayed in the output; it is for internal use only. See Inserting Annotations.

Removes annotations from the document. You can click the down arrow to delete a single annotation or all of them. See Deleting Annotations.

Opens a submenu to select options for locking content in files so that it cannot be edited. See Locking Elements.

  • Locks (Disabled/Enabled) Locks or unlocks the content designated with the gray background. After content has been locked, it cannot be edited, and annotations cannot be added to it.
  • Show Locked Elements Lets you show or hide the gray background associated with elements that have been locked or selected to be locked.
