Making your draft available for review

When you are ready to have others review your draft, you can send a request for review and make the draft available online. For more information about the e-mail review process, see Understanding the e-mail review process.

Note: On the Macintosh, Contribute works with the following default e-mail applications: Mail, Eudora, and Entourage.

To use the e-mail review process:

  1. In your draft, select File > E-mail Review.
  2. Contribute creates a new e-mail message in your default e-mail application.

    Note: If Contribute does not find a default e-mail application or cannot launch your e-mail application, you can create the e-mail message by clicking the Click here link in the message area under the toolbar. Copy the web address (URL) for the draft that appears in the browser window and paste the address in an e-mail message to send to reviewers.

  3. In the message’s To text box, enter the reviewer’s e-mail address.
  4. In the body of the message, add a message if you want.
  5. Contribute includes a message with the web address of the temporary copy of the draft.

  6. Send the e-mail message.
  7. In Contribute, work on another draft or switch to the Contribute browser until you receive feedback from the reviewer.
  8. When you receive feedback from the reviewer, click the draft title in the Pages panel to return to the draft and update it.
  9. Note: When you cancel or publish the draft, Contribute removes the temporary copy of the draft that it placed on the server for the reviewer.
