Contribution Workflow

Authors, developers, or other individuals in your company can use Contributor to create new documents and files, which can be incorporated into your Flare project. These documents can also be exported to PDF output.

  1. (Optional) Author—Create and send a contribution template to the contributor.

    Tip If you want to ensure that the contributor does not make changes to certain portions of the file, you can apply locks to specific elements within it.

  2. (Optional) Contributor—Save the template.
  3. Contributor—Create a new document (MCCO file) in Contributor (with or without using the author’s template).
  1. Contributor—Send the completed file to the author (via email, or by using SharePoint integration or the external resources feature).
  2. Author—Open the contribution file. A message indicates that the file is added to the Documents\My Incoming Contributions folder. You can then access the file from the Contributions window pane in your project.
  3. Author—From the Contributions window pane you can view and accept the topic.
