InDesign Share for Review - FAQ

Using Share for Review in InDesign’s June 2020 release, you can share your designs for online review, and manage feedback right within the app. Stakeholders can open the shared document in a browser to provide feedback. Share for Review streamlines and simplifies the review process for both designers and their stakeholders 

 

The following FAQs provide clarity on common questions around Share for Review 

Share the document for review - FAQ

View reviewer comments - FAQ 

Review the document - FAQ

Best practices

 

How is Share for Review different from the ‘Integrated comment and review’ feature in InDesign CS5? How does it compare to the Import PDF Comments (IPC) feature?  

Adobe is investing in features and services that make creative collaboration easier and more enjoyable.  

With Share for Review, our aspiration is to make reviewing and editing InDesign creative more seamless, and address the following limitations in CS Review: 

  • Requirement for a flash plugin to use this feature 
  • Lack of support for key features such as email notifications 
  • User challenges with feature discoverability 

Compared to Import PDF Comments (IPC), Share for Review reduces time by eliminating the need to create and share PDFs and collate the resulting feedback. We will be working to enhance the reviewing features and capabilities in Share for Review, which will soon help this tool surpass the experience of IPC, from end to end.   

 

Does Share for Review include text commenting capabilities? 

This first version of the feature allows you to provide feedback through the sticky note and pencil tools. We will continue to improve the experience, and we will soon incorporate more text commenting capabilities, including text highlight, text strikethrough, and the ability to accept text comments in a single click. 

 

Is this feature being introduced into InCopy?  

It is not. Instead, we’ll be making significant updates to InCopy by taking it to the Web to provide better collaboration capabilities. Stay tuned!    

 

What text capabilities do I have as a reviewer?  

As a reviewer, you will be able to highlight text, strikethrough text, and replace text corresponding to your comment. 

 

 

Let us know of any challenges, or questions you have for us around Share for Review and we’ll be happy to assist you.

This has worked for others:

  1. Save any work and close all open
  2. Sign out of InDesign (Help > Sign out). This will cause indesign to quit.
  3. Launch InDesign again, at which point you should be prompted to sign in again.

My Share for review appears to be broken after updating to 15.1.1 this morning.

It was working perfectly last night.

I have seen this issue with another customer.

It seemed closing the app and to start it again fixed this issue.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I've tried that and a complete system reboot. It's a bummer because I was in a middle of a revision with stakeholder and now I'm unable to upload any new changes.

I have other problem.

While I want to Share to review I see only option "Invite Only" - no other options:

 

I tried few times and I can never share a document to "Public" with password.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

 

This appears to be strange. 

Is it related to this specific document or with all the documents?

Also are you on the InDesign v15.1.1?

 

Regards,

Sheena

Hi Sheena,

 

It apears that it's on all documents.

I was checking on smaller (4 pages) and larger (100+ pages) - nothing changes.

Yes, I updated InDesign yesterday to 15.1.1 by CC.

Still can't figure it out so any help would be appreciated.

 

Best regards

Well having installed InDesign 15.1.1 at least the send for review panels seem to be working properly now, though actually connecting to the server to see the review copy was a different story, yesterday at least: took an absolute age, such that it looked like the server was down, though this may be a temporary glitch. More importantly I just can't understand why Adobe, who make Acrobat, couldn't just include all the features of the pdf Comments function into the Review process. Plus the necessity of setting up the page range for Review output in the pdf export prior to sending for review is just crackers and not even properly signposted. What we have is a bare-bones functionality that is just not going to persuade my clients to shift from using the Google integrated Kami to the Review tool. This is a shame as I find Kami harder to use than Acrobat (can't always spot the location of comments in the text) and of course you can't import the comments directly into InDesign so still have to look at two apps on screen to make amendments in the artwork. Hopefully lessons will be learnt about rushing out beta style functions without thinking it through,  in what looks like a promising addition to InDesign. But for now I'll be giving it a pass for longer content critical documents at least I'm afraid.

Hi, 
I really love this new function, but i have some issue with.

When i want to mention a stakeholder (or a stakeholder want to mention another one) sometimes it's impossible beacause their names doesn't appear after the @.
Do you know why ?

That's very strange! 

 

Did you share the file with them using the invite-only option?

Yes i did

Hello, very nice feature. But is it also the intention that the assessment is visible in the Indesign canvas? I assume that this should be. I can see the comments (pin) in the online version, but I don't see the same pin in indesign.

 

thanx, Arjen

Arjen, you have to turn on the Review panel in InDesign (Window > Comments > Review). 

Participant
June 24, 2020

Yes, thanks. That is on and it works. I meant the example below. the top is the Indesign canvas (and comments next to it), below is the online version (and there I see the pin / marks). In Indesign I cannot see where the markers or pins are to be changed.

Is it possible to insert a button or a tick in the comments as a sign that this is done.

Hi there,

 

There is no tick option available but you can resolve a comment to indicate that it has been worked on. 

Check out View reviewer comments - FAQ  to see how that option works.

When I invite stakeholders (Invite Only) they are asked for a password or a Adobe login before being able to review my work? Is it a bug – and if not where do I generate the password?

Just found out that my question already have been asked and semi answered on a previus page. Sorry!

Hi Sheena, I love the share for review feature and Im current using it for 2 diffrent clients, One of them its worked prefectly for (the other Im yet to hear back from). But this morning when I tried to access the review panel I got nothing but a black box, I tried updating and restarting my computer and nothing has worked. 
Im worried about the other client (that has not responded yet) that their comments will be lost in the internet somewhere?

TIA

Donna

I have the same problem here. Several comments are missing. Seems like this is more likely to happen to markings or strikethrough text.

When I set up Share for Review, and a co-worker opens the document, his Review panel shows this:

Is there a way to make multiple users 'owners', or is the review process limited to the person who initially set's up the review?

Hi there, 

 

I believe you're trying to give permissions to multiple users to be the owner of your document. 

As far as I know, there is no way to add another owner yet. But it'd be worth posting it in the UserVoice here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/

Sheena
