Manage reviews from the review menu or in bulk
Open a review's ... menu on the Reviews page to share it, copy its link, add media, or delete it. Turn on select mode to copy links, unshare, or delete several reviews at once. Each entry needs its own permission, and revis.io hides the ones your role can't use.
Before you start
- Who: Owners, Admins, Members, Project Admins, and Contributors can share, copy links, and add media. Only Owners, Admins, and Project Admins can delete reviews. Reviewers and Viewers can open the menu, but only Open notes reel, Favorite, and the notification entry work for them.
- Where: the web app.
- You need: a project with at least one review.
Use a review's menu
- Open the project and select Reviews in the left sidebar.
- Point to a review's row and select .... You can also right-click the row.
- Choose an entry.
Everyone sees these entries:
- Open notes reel opens a pop-up with the review's comments, split into New and Earlier. revis.io's UI also calls comments "notes".
- Favorite or Unfavorite adds the review to your Favorites in the sidebar, or removes it.
- Mute notifications or Unmute notifications changes your own notification setting for this review.
Owners, Admins, Members, Project Admins, and Contributors also get these:
- Share opens the share dialog. It's hidden when external link sharing is turned off.
- Add media, with Your Computer, Clipboard, and Whiteboard.
- Copy link copies the review's share link.
- Edit opens the name and description form; see Create and rename a review.
Owners, Admins, and Project Admins also see Delete review.
WARNING
Copy link makes a link if the review has none. That new link is view-only, with no password and no expiry date, so guests can look but not comment, draw, or download. To change that, choose Share instead. If the review already has a link, Copy link copies it as it is.
Reviewers and Viewers still see Edit, but saving fails with Failed to update review.
Select several reviews
- Select the checkbox icon beside the search box (Select reviews). A checkbox appears beside each review.
- Select the checkbox of each review you want. To select a range, select one review, then hold Shift and select another.
- Find the bar at the top of the page. It reads N reviews selected, with a trash icon (Delete selected reviews) and More options.
- To leave select mode, select Clear selection (the X) or press Esc.
The trash icon is for Owners, Admins, and Project Admins. More options is for Owners, Admins, Members, Project Admins, and Contributors.
Copy links or unshare in bulk
DANGER
Unshare doesn't ask you to confirm. Every share link of the selected reviews stops working for everyone who has it. If you copy a link for a review later, revis.io makes a new link, and the old links stay off.
- Select the reviews, then select More options in the bar.
- Choose Copy links to copy one link per review, one per line. revis.io shows "N links copied to clipboard". Reviews without a link get a new view-only link first.
- To switch the links off instead, choose Unshare. revis.io shows "N reviews unshared".
Delete reviews
- To delete one review, open its menu and choose Delete review. revis.io deletes it at once and shows "1 review deleted" with Undo.
- To delete several, select them, then select Delete selected reviews in the bar.
- In Delete Reviews?, select Delete. revis.io shows "N reviews deleted" with Undo.
- Select Undo within a few seconds to bring the reviews back.
A deleted review goes to Trash, and its share links stop working until you restore it.
Limits
- Select mode has no bulk share, status change, or compare. Use each review's own menu, or the player.
- If something fails, see I can't create, delete, share or change a status.
