Submit Responses in a Review

Depending on your review role, you may be required to submit a response in a review. Responses may be one of the following: Approve, Reject, Defer, or Complete Feedback.

To submit a response in a review:

  1. Log into your account.
  2. In the Navigation panel, click Projects.
  3. On the Projects dashboard, click a project, and click the Reviews tab.
  4. On the Reviews screen, click a review to open it in the Proofing Workspace.
  5. Click the Responses side panel, and choose your response:
    OptionDescription
    Approve Click Approve if the asset meets the criteria specified.
    Reject Click Reject if the asset does not meet the criteria specified.
    Defer Click Defer if the review requires the attention of someone else, if your feedback is not applicable, or if you are comfortable with the group consensus. You may or may not be prompted to identify a Resource to defer to depending on the Review settings.

    The Defer option will only display when it is enabled in the review settings. Guest reviewers do not have the option to defer.

    Complete Feedback Click Complete Feedback if you are finished adding feedback and responses.
    Note: If applicable, provide your response for each asset in the review. To access an asset, click the folder icon at the bottom of the screen to see the thumbnails of the assets in the review.

    Assets in the asset explorer will be marked with a green check mark (for Completed Feedback or Approved submissions), a red X for a rejection, or a curved arrow in a gray circle for a deferral.

  6. When prompted for confirmation, click one of the following:
    • Submit Now to lock in your responses and make them visible to other users, or
    • Later to change your response.
      Note: Other users will not see draft responses.
