Contribute Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

QUESTION: Can I use Send for Review to email a temporary version of my draft to a colleague, even though I do not have Outlook?

ANSWER:

  1. In Edit Mode, choose “Send For Review”
  2. Choose the “Send email with a link to a preview of the draft” option… and then click on “Send.” You will get a message saying that Contribute will place a review copy of this draft in a temporary folder on your website….. etc. – Click OK
  3. A yellow bar at the top of your draft will say “You posted a draft for review by email……. Click here to view the version you posted." Go ahead and click on that, and a separate web browser will open with the sample page.
  4. The URL of this sample page now appears in the Web Address bar. Use the “Control C” keyboard shortcut to copy this URL.
  5. Send this link to your colleague by pasting it (Control V) into the email, using whatever email client you like, such as AOL.
  6. Go back to Contribute and click on “Save For Later” to keep this temporary draft active.
  7. When your colleague has finished reviewing the temporary page, click on the draft in the "Pages" list (below the File menu in Contribute). Your page will now be in Edit Mode. Make any necessary changes, and then publish your page. Or cancel out of it if you have changed your mind.
  8. Once you cancel out of the draft, the link you sent your colleague also becomes invalid, so you must keep the draft “Saved For Later” until they are done looking at it. That is: you shouldn't cancel or publish the draft until they are done.
  9. If you have any difficulty with this and need help, please send a request to support@vdsys.com or contact your account manager.
