Collaborative Review feature

Reviewers can use the Collaborative Review (CR) feature on the content assigned to them as a means to both provide feedback to writers and view any annotations added by other assigned reviewers.

A CR differs from editing a topic or map. On the Collaborative Review page, you add annotations to the content that is there instead of editing the content directly. You can also see any annotations made by other users who are assigned to the same CR.

A writer creates a CR from a map, so all the topics in the map appear as part of the CR.
