Working with Collaborative Reviews

You do not need to check out a Collaborative Review to work with it. As soon as you open the Collaborative Review, you can start adding annotations.

Any assigned user can add annotations in a Collaborative Review that has the review status. Users who are not assigned can view the content, but they cannot add annotations.

Note: If you are not assigned to a Collaborative Review, a warning message appears below the Breadcrumb path.
