Review topics or maps id1645H6010Q5

Almost all technical documents need to go through multiple rounds of reviews. In most cases, a review cycle involves more than one reviewer. Addressing and responding to comments from multiple reviewers is always challenging for authors. Also, in a multiple reviewer scenario, it is helpful if one reviewer can also see the comments made by other reviewers.

Some of the main features offered by AEM Guides to the initiators (or authors) are:

  • Create a DITA project for the review workflow.

  • Send one or more topics for review in a single review task.

  • Send a topic for review in multiple review tasks.

  • Create a review task by selecting a DITA map or topic based on their latest version, version on date, or a label (for topics) and Baseline (for map).

  • Share an updated version of the topic for review from the Review Dashboard.

  • Access comments shared on different versions of topic.

  • Group and filter comments based on version of topic.

  • See side-by-side differences between different versions of topics shared for review.

  • Automatically import (deleted or inserted) comments into the version of topic that was shared for review.

Features available to the reviewers:

  • Get one composite view of the topics shared for review.
  • Switch between composite view and individual topic view.
  • Use the commenting tools, such as text insertion, deletion, highlight, and note/comment to provide their feedback.
  • Attach one or multiple files to a review comment.
  • Download attachments from a comment.
  • Use the Review Panel to add comments or respond to comments from other users.
  • Easily know the version of topic under review.
  • Receive a notification when a task is assigned to them for review.
  • See differences between older and newer version of topic shared for review.
  • See comments made by other reviewers or replies on comments from author in real time.
  • Access comments given on older version of topic.
