Home area for Reviewers

Reviewers are assigned the My Updates area by default. They can access a modified version of the Home area only when an Adobe Workfront administrator adds the Home area to their layout template.

This article describes activities that you can perform in the Home area if you have a Review license.

For more information about the default navigation of Review-license users, see Understand the navigation for a Review-license user. For more information about the My Updates area, see Use the My Updates area.

TIP
  • General updates between users outside of an object are not enabled.
  • Although users with a Review license can be assigned tasks, they do not receive email or other notifications regarding assignments, and they cannot mark them as “Done.”
