How do I review an Adobe Captivate project

Adobe Captivate allows you to review the content of a shared project on the web. You can add comments, suggest changes, and tag other collaborators to provide their input. The author can then view the feedback, make changes, and address the comments. The review process helps to keep track of the changes suggested and implemented based on the feedback, ensuring the project meets the desired requirements and quality standards.

Here is a short tutorial on how to add review comments for a shared project:

Follow these steps to review a project:

Open the email notification sent by the project author.
Select Open Review in the email to open the project review in a web browser.

Email invitation to review

Once the project review is open, you can view the project slides and provide feedback by adding comments on the relevant slides.

Add review comments

To add a comment, navigate to the slide you want to comment on and enter your feedback in the comment panel on the right.

Note

Unmapped comments refer to those that are not associated with a specific slide within a project.
They come in two forms:

Comments made before selecting play on the first screen during review.
Comments attached to a slide which was later deleted.

Tag others

You have the option to tag or mention the author or other reviewers in your comment by employing the "@" symbol followed by their name or email ID. Choose from the drop-down and select Submit.

Edit or delete comments

You can also edit or delete your own comments by selecting the ellipses (...) for more options.

Filter comments

If you want to filter the comments based on reviewer names, time, or status, you can click on the funnel icon at the lower-right corner to view the available filters.

You can filter the comments based on the following criteria:

Reviewer Filter: This filter displays the names of all reviewers who have already added comments. You can select a reviewer's name to filter the comments made by that reviewer.
Time Filter: This filter allows you to filter comments based on the time they were made. You can choose options such as Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, or Older.
Status Filter: This filter allows you to view only the list of resolved comments. You can use the Resolved option to filter the resolved comments.

By using these filters, you can reduce clutter and focus on the relevant comments during the review process.

View all comments in a project

To view all comments within the project as a list, you can toggle on the View all screen comments option at the bottom of the comments panel.

This allows you to easily manage feedback in the project. You can see all the comments across all screens for that slide.

Request project access

If you receive a forwarded link for a private project review but are not invited by the author, you will need to request access to the project from the author before you can view and comment on it. Once you have reviewed the project and provided your feedback, you can close the web browser. The author will be notified of your comments and can address them accordingly.

Add device-specific comments

Add device-specific comments for each viewport (desktop, tablet, or mobile) to provide feedback on how the project appears on different screens. This allows for specific comments and suggestions to be made for each device, ensuring that the project is optimized for different screen sizes and resolutions.

To add comments for each device in Adobe Captivate, you can follow these steps:

Open the review.
Select the slide for which you want to add comments.
Select a device viewport button on a slide to switch between different device views.

Device viewport buttons
Add your comments for each device view by typing in the comment box. You can also tag specific collaborators by using the "@" symbol followed by their name to notify them of the comment.

How to resolve the comments

After all reviewers have reviewed the project, you will receive a notification in your mail that there were some activities in the project. Open the project and you can then review the comments and make the necessary changes or address the issues raised by the reviewers.

Once you have made changes to the project, you can reply to the comments to indicate that the issues have been resolved or the changes have been implemented.
If you have implemented the modifications recommended in the comment, select the Resolve option.
