Understanding the draft review process

The Contribute draft review process lets you send a draft to other Contribute users to get feedback or to collaborate before you publish the draft. Or, if your role doesn't allow you to publish directly to the website, you might need to send the draft to someone who can review the draft and publish it.

You can send a draft for review to anyone who has connected to the website; Contribute stores user names when users connect to the website. You can send the draft to multiple reviewers at one time, but only one person can edit the draft at a time. When you send a draft for review, you transfer "ownership" of that draft to the reviewer. That means the reviewer has to take action on the draft. After you send a draft for review, you can track the draft to see what action the review takes on the draft.

When you receive a draft for review, it appears in your Pages panel in Contribute. You might also receive an e-mail message from the sender to alert you that you have a draft to review. As a reviewer, you can decide to edit the draft, send it to another user for review, or discard all changes by canceling the draft. Depending on your role, you might also be able to publish the draft.
