Request a Review

Publish your content to Review 360, then follow these steps to get started. 

  1. Launch the Review 360 item and click the +Review Request button in the Comments sidebar.
  2. Type in the reviewer's email address and select it from the drop-down list. Add more reviewers as needed. Or copy a list of reviewer email addresses (use any form of separator—commas, semi-colons, spaces, cells in spreadsheets) and paste it to the Assigned Reviewers field to add them automatically.
  3. Enter a custom message for your reviewers if you like. For example, if your content is password-protected, include the password in your message.

    Make messages easier to read using the formatting options on the toolbar on top. Or, use the keyboard shortcuts below.

All reviewers will receive an email notification with a personalized URL to launch the Review 360 item. Using this URL, they'll see a Your Review section in the Comments sidebar with an I'm done reviewing button to set their status to Complete. Once completed, a More (•••) icon appears in the upper-right corner. They can click this icon, select Re-open Review, then choose Re-Open when prompted to reset their status.

Tips:

  • If your reviewers are new to Review 360, point them to this user guide for stakeholders or share this quick-start guide document (PDF) in your custom message.
  • All seatholders can create or edit a request for any Review 360 item within the subscription. Only the person who made the request will be notified when reviewers set their status to complete.
  • If a reviewer has an Articulate ID account, they must sign in with their password before posting a comment. 
  • Anyone viewing the Review 360 item via the share link can see the Request Review details. Assigned reviewers with Articulate IDs will also see the Your Request section using the public link when signed in.
  • Select Allow users without Articulate IDs to comment if you want assigned reviewers without Articulate IDs to post comments.
  • If your Review 360 item's share link is private, reviewers must have Articulate IDs to view it. If they don't have one, ask them to create a free account using the same email address.
