Send Files for Review Wizard

This wizard lets you send documents (topics and snippets) to others for review. There are a couple of processes that you can use for Flare topic reviews and collaboration.

  • Flare Online Reviews (Recommended) Flare Desktop supports review packages (i.e., bundling files such as topics and snippets) and lets you send those packages to Flare Online to be reviewed by others. After editing and annotating the files in Flare Online's Review Editor, the reviewers submit the finished files, sending them back to your inbox in Flare Desktop. You can then accept or reject their changes and accept the file, replacing the original source file. Because this system uses the cloud, reviewers do not need to download any software to review your files. Also, multiple reviewers can edit the same file at the same time. See Flare Online Review Process and Sending Files for Review in Flare Online.
  • Contributor Reviews The review process lets you send Flare files for review and receive file contributions from SMEs and other Flare authors. Non-Flare Desktop 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 Desktop authors using Flare Desktop only. See Reviews and Contributions With MadCap Contributor and Sending Files for Review in Contributor or Flare Desktop.

On the first page of the wizard, the top portion lets you enter a package name and description, as well as add or remove files. You can also associate the files with a table of contents (TOC). After that, you can select the process you want to use. The rest of the options in the wizard can be completed based on the process you choose.
