Understanding the e-mail review process

When you use the e-mail review process, Contribute uses your default e-mail application to create a message containing a web address where reviewers can see a temporary copy of your draft. Contribute automatically creates the temporary copy on the same server where you publish your website. The recipient clicks the web address (URL) link in the e-mail message to view your draft.

Note: If the page to be reviewed is in a frameset, the web address is for the single page that you edited, not the entire frameset.

When you send an e-mail review request, Contribute displays a message under the toolbar to alert you that you sent the draft for review; the message includes the date you sent the review request. You can then save the draft for later, until you get feedback from your reviewer.

After reviewing your draft, the reviewer can send you feedback by e-mail. The reviewer cannot edit the review draft. You can make changes to your draft and then publish the draft, or request another review. When you cancel or publish the draft, Contribute removes the temporary copy of the draft that it placed on the server for the reviewer.
