The collaboration experience gets even better in Illustrator 2022. Reviewers without an Adobe ID can now provide feedback on your documents. 

Share your documents for review in 3 simple clicks.

1. Click or tap the upper-right corner of the Illustrator app on the desktop or the iPad. 
2. Click the Change icon to control the link access. 
3. Click the Copy link to share a cloud document as a link with stakeholders for feedback.

Salient Features 

• Use shared URL to provide feedback on artwork. 
• You no longer require an Adobe ID for providing feedback. 
• Reviewers can highlight relevant objects and Artboards using shapes or by pinning comments to objects.  

• Email notifications are sent to the designer after the feedback is submitted. 
• You can read, resolve, or reply to real-time comments from reviewers within the application (Window > Comments).  
• Comments are mapped with Artboards for easy Navigation. 
• By enabling the Save a copy option, reviewers will be able to save a copy of the document to their Creative Cloud.
