Commenting tools in reviews don't work anymore (disabled)

Report · Feb 06, 2023

Hello everyone,

I've checked in the community and couldn't fined the issue I'm experiencing.

I've been using reviews for more than a year and didn't have any problem whatsoever: the SMEs could comment using the highlight feature or the "pin" feature and I could work on those comment in RoboHelp (my current version is Version 2020.8.34).

Now 2023 comes and today I sent out the very first review of the new year, but my SMEs now tell me all commenting tools are disabled (see attached pic).
The comment box works, but I can't really associate a comment with the corresponding text in my topic, this is not very useful...

The SMEs are all logged in their correct adobe account (as I am) and the Creative Cloud Desktop app is up to date, with no issue notified.

I really don't know that to do... is it a bug?
Thank you all!

I think I recall seeing several recent posts about reviewing failing (even with RH2022) - I suspect it's something in the Adobe Cloud that's messing everyone up. I would ping the RH folks - see https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your Adobe Support options. I'd recommend using the tcssup@adobe.com e-mail address as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including RoboHelp.

Hi @Jeff_Coatsworth , thanks a lot.

I pinged the guys of the support team. I'll keep this thread updated when (and if) they'll answer...

Hey there,

quick update. They answered my email telling me to clear my browser’s cache, cookies & temp files. If that didn't help, they suggested to open the review URL in incognito mode or on a different Internet browser and check.

The problem is still there, as you can imagine.
Not very helpful so far...
