Using the e-mail review process for drafts

Before you publish your draft, you can make the draft available for others to review—even if they
don't have Contribute or Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. Use the Contribute e-mail review
process to share your draft with others before you publish it.
To learn more about how e-mail review works, see "Understanding the e-mail review process" on
page 126. To use the e-mail review process, see "Making your draft available for review" on page 127.

Understanding the e-mail review process

When you use the Contribute e-mail review process, Contribute creates an e-mail message in your
default e-mail application with a web address to a temporary copy for someone to view your draft.
Contribute automatically creates the temporary copy on the same server where you publish your
website. The recipient clicks the web address (URL) link in the e-mail message to view your draft.
Note: If the page you are requesting review for appears in a frameset, the web address is for the single page that
you edited, not the entire frameset.
When you send an e-mail review request, Contribute displays a message under the toolbar to alert
you that you sent the draft for review; the message includes the date you sent the review request.
You can then save the draft for later, until you get feedback from your reviewer.
After the reviewer completes your review request, they can send you feedback in e-mail. The
reviewer cannot edit the review draft. You can make changes to your draft, then publish the draft,
or request another review. When you cancel or publish the draft, Contribute removes the
temporary copy of the draft that it placed on the server for the reviewer.
