If you are a Content Producer you must send your web page that you have created or edited to your Site Publisher or Manger for review. Site Publishers and Managers may also want to send the page for review to get feedback on a web page before publishing it to the site.
When you send your draft for review, Contribute uploads a temporary copy of the page to the web server. Contribute then allows you to send the page for review two different ways: Sending the review to a contribute user and sending the review to any person via e-mail.
Sending the Review to a Contribute user
This will be the process that most users will use. Content Publishers need to use this process to have a Site Publisher or Manger review their work.
- In the pages panel, select the draft you want to send for review or use the page you are currently working on.
- Select the Send for Review button in the Toolbar or choose File > Actions > Send for Review.
- Select the contribute user you wish to send the draft to. If you wish to send it to multiple users, by holding down the Control (or Command key for Mac users) key.
- You can also enter a description of the changes if you wish.
- You may also wish to notify the Contribute user through e-mail. If you wish to do so, click Notify recipients through e-mail. This will launch your e-mail application so you can send the reviewers a message.
- Click Send to send your draft for review.
- You will now see a copy of the draft you sent. Note: If your site uses an image rotator in the Poster Image, you will see an error message. Please see Reviewing Draft Pages for information on this problem.
Sending the Review to any person via e-mail
Use this option if you wish to send your draft page for review by a non-Contribute user.
- In the pages panel, select the draft you want to send for review or use the page you are currently working on.
- Select the Send for Review button in the Toolbar or choose File > Actions > Send for Review.
- This will bring up the Send for Review dialog. Select Send e-mail with a link to a preview of the draft. Click Send.
- A warning box will display telling you that Contribute is placing a review copy of this draft in a temporary folder on your website. Click OK.
- Contribute will launch your e-mail application and create a new message with a link to your draft review page. Input the e-mail addresses you wish to send the review to, edit the body of the e-mail as necessary and click send.
- The draft you put up for review will remain on the server until you cancel your draft or publish your page. A message will display just below the toolbar telling you when you posted a draft. There will be a link to the draft you put up for e-mail review. Note: If your site uses an image rotator in the Poster Image, you will see an error message. Please see Reviewing Draft Pages for information on this problem.
