Viewing Reviewed Files in the Inbox

After an individual returns files that you have sent for review, you can bring those files into your Flare project. Once a reviewed file is inside your project, you can view and accept it. If you do not see any topics in the window pane, it might be because you did not use the built-in email feature, but rather saved the review package manually. In that case, you need to import the review package (see Importing Reviewed Files).

How to View Reviewed Files

  1. Select Review > File Reviews.

    The File Reviews window pane opens.

  2. From the drop-down at the top of the window pane, select Inbox. All reviewed files that you have brought into your project, but have not yet been accepted, are listed in the pane.

What’s Next?

From the File Reviews window pane, you can select a file in the list and click any of the following buttons in the local toolbar to take action on it. This window pane can be used for either Central reviews or for Contributor reviews. Some of the options are available for only one process or the other.

In other words, you can choose to see only the files that you have added to the review, or you can see all files that you and other Flare authors have selected for review. This filter is applicable only to Central reviews; it is not relevant to Contributor reviews.

After a file is closed for review, it means the file can no longer be edited on Central. You can then accept or reject any changes to the file in the editor, then accept the file back into the Flare project. See Closing Central Review Files.
