Sharing your designs and creative work with your teammates and stakeholders just became easier with Photoshop.

Introduced in Photoshop 24.0 (October 2022 release), you'll view a big blue Share button in your Photoshop workspace that gives you the collaboration option to Share for review.

The Share for review feature allows you to work on both local or cloud documents and create a shareable review link of the web version of your document. You can share this document link with teammates and stakeholders to collect feedback.

Navigate directly to Share for review dialog

Introduced in Photoshop 24.3 (March 2023 release)

Now you can use the Share button or navigate to File > Share for Review to work with the Share for review dialog right away.

Create a shareable link to versions of your work and share it with anyone.  

For the first few times when using the Share button, you'll view a welcome screen introducing the Share for review functionality and a button to take you to the dialog once the link is created. 

Once inside the Share for review dialog, you'll also view Invite to edit at the end - use it to invite people to edit  your live cloud document. 

The Invite to edit feature in Photoshop allows asynchronous editing where each collaborator can edit a shared cloud document, one at a time.

Generate a link to share your document

Follow these steps to generate a review link:

  1. Open a document in Photoshop and choose any of these:

    • Share button > Share for review

    • File > Share for review

    • Window > Comments

  2. If the document you're working with isn't in a supported format, you'll view a Wait! Save before sharing dialog open. 

    • Select Continue if you want to save your document in a supported file format and proceed further. 
    • Select Cancel to go back to the app workspace.
    Save before sharing dialog

  3. In the Share for review panel that opens, you can type a suitable name for your document link and control who can access the generated link.

    • Only invited people can comment: Cannot access the link until invited by email.
    • Everyone at “your organization” can comment: Anyone with the organization’s domain in their email can comment
    • Anyone with the link can comment: A public link that everyone can access. Invitation by email is optional. You can set a password when creating a public link for sharing. 

    Select Create link button to generate the link.

  4. Once done, select the link icon at the lower-right corner to copy the generated link to the clipboard. The review link to the web version of your Photoshop document is now ready to be shared with stakeholders!

  5. Select the three-dots icon to view More options and perform the desired action:

    • Create new review link: This Lets you generate a new review link for your document. By default, the link name gets appended with numerals to denote that it's a new link.
    • Link settings: Use this option to show or hide comments from anyone with the link. Enable the toggle button to allow commenting for public users. You can also add a password to manage access from here.
    • Delete review link: This opens a Delete review dialog for you where you can choose to Delete your review document link. Once you've deleted your link, you can't restore all of its comments. You can Cancel and go back to the Share for review panel.
    • Manage review links: Use this option to go to the Creative Cloud website and find all your review document links under Files > Your files > Published.

    You'll also see an Update content option that lets you sync your document edits and be ready to share again.

    Also, you can use the Invite people option to add the names or email addresses of your collaborators for reviewing your documents.

Generate a password-protected shareable link for your document

Introduced in Photoshop 24.2 (February 2023 release)

Now you can control access to your public review links by setting a password all the while ensuring collaboration and feedback sharing. You can also modify the password or remove it altogether.

Add and view comments 

To review a document, follow the shared link and then sign in with your Adobe ID. As you open the link, you're taken to the Creative Cloud website, where you can see the comments panel. Select the comment icon on the upper-right corner to collapse the comments panel anytime.

In the Comments panel, you can write new comments, as well as respond to, resolve, or delete existing ones and view comments from other collaborators. You can use pins and annotations in the review document and also add emojis in your comments. If the shared link is limited only to invited people as desired by the owner of the review link, then only those invited can add their comments.

You can also view or add comments to the shared review document from within the Photoshop app. Simply navigate to Window > Comments to open the Comments panel. Type your comments in the Add a comment... box and revisit comments from fellow collaborators whenever you want.

Note:

If you decide to delete a comment, all replies to the original comment will get deleted as well, and this action cannot be undone.

Also, you can view and add comments only on the latest review link in the in-app Comments panel. However, you can view and add comments on all review links on the Creative Cloud website.
