There are a couple of processes that you can use for Flare topic reviews and collaboration.
- Central Reviews (Recommended) Flare supports review packages (i.e., bundling files such as topics and snippets) and lets you send those packages to Central to be reviewed by others. After editing and annotating the files in Central's Review Editor, the reviewers submit the finished files, sending them back to your inbox in Flare. You can then accept or reject their changes and accept the file, replacing the original source file.
- Contributor Reviews The review process lets you send Flare files for review and receive file contributions from SMEs and other Flare authors. Non-Flare users can download a separate application called MadCap Contributor when collaborating with you and your Flare project. You can also use the same features to send files for review to other Flare authors using Flare only.
Note If you do not choose to use either of these systems, you can always generate output—such as PDF or Word—and send those files to your reviewers. However, although this can be an easy method, it is also more manual and means that you need to copy and paste the changes into your source Flare files.
