Option

Description

Opens the Send File for Review Wizard, which lets you email the active file (and others) to another person for review. See 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. See Viewing Reviewed Files in the Inbox and Accepting Reviewed Files.

It also lets you see a list of files that you have sent out for review. See Viewing Files Sent for Review.

Lets you import a reviewed file into the inbox of the File Reviews window pane. 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.

Enables or disables the track changes feature. See Enabling Track Changes.

Opens a sidebar and displays any tracked changes or annotations (notes) that have been attached to any content in the topic. See Hiding and Showing Changes and Annotations.

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.
