When sharing an adobe review link it automatically have "only invited people can comment"

[Rita38164071j6zf]

I've shared a review link from my adobe acrobat on my MacBook. I'm pretty sure I chose the comment option as "anyone on the internet with the link can comment", but after a while I shared it automatically changes to "only invited people can comment"

Any ideas on what I should do?

Thanks

Hi @Rita38164071j6zf,

Thank you for reaching out! To assist you better, could you provide the following details?

1. The version of InDesign you're using.

2. The operating system on your MacBook.

3. Is the issue specific to one file, or does it occur with all files shared for review?

4. Was the "Anyone on the internet can comment" option working before, and did this change happen suddenly?

5. Were any configuration changes made before the issue started?

If you haven’t already, I recommend resetting the preferences in InDesign and then testing the issue again. Here’s a guide to help: Setting Preferences in InDesign.

Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance!

Best,
Abhishek Rao

Hi Abhishek, thanks for your help! I checked the review link this morning and it changed back to "anyone can comment" itself! I didn't touch anywhere just went to bed... But to answer your questions and maybe to get a better understanding of this issue.

1. it is InDesign 2025
2. My Mac has macOS Ventura 13.0
3. this issue occured only yesterday, I tried different files they all had this issue. My coworker also tried and had the same issue, we have the same MacBook
4. it happened only yesterday, I didn't touch any settings before. I've use this feature countless times before always works. 

So it is just really strange. Not sure if it's a Adobe bug that only happened temporarily. Hope it dosen't happen in the future.

Thank you!

Rita

Hi @Rita38164071j6zf,

Thank you for the additional information! It seems like this might have been a temporary issue, possibly related to an update or a bug in the Adobe servers. Since the setting reverted on its own, it could have been a glitch, but it's great to hear that it resolved itself.

To prevent this from happening in the future, you can consider: 

1. Reset the preferences of the application and try again. Reference: https://adobe.ly/49JN9dJ

2. If the issue persists, I suggest creating a new review link and ensuring that the correct settings are selected before sharing it. If the issue occurs again, it might be helpful to report it directly to Adobe Support for further investigation.

3. If you’re using a browser to manage the review link, sometimes browser settings or extensions can interfere with how things are displayed. Try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser to see if that affects the settings.

If the problem happens again, please feel free to reach out, and we’ll troubleshoot it further together. I’m glad the issue seems to have cleared up for now, but let’s keep an eye on it.

Thank you for your patience!

Best, 

Abhishek Rao
