Rename, remove and manage items in a review

Rename an item by double-clicking its name, set its thumbnail from the player, and take items out of a review with Remove. Select two or more items on the Reviews page to change their status, remove them, copy a link, or compare them together.

Before you start

• Who: Owners, Admins, Members, Project Admins, and Contributors can rename items and set thumbnails. Only Owners, Admins, and Project Admins can remove items. Reviewers can also change statuses; see Approve an item or set its status.
• Where: the web app, on the Reviews page and in the player.
• You need: a review with items.

WARNING

Reviewers and Viewers still see Rename and Set as Thumbnail, but their changes aren't saved. A rename goes back to the old name without a message.

Rename an item

1. On the Reviews page, expand the review and switch to the grid view (the grid button at the top right of the page). The list view has no rename.
2. Double-click the item's name under its thumbnail. You can also right-click the item and choose Rename.
3. Type the new name.
4. Press Enter, or press Esc to cancel.

In the player, double-click the item's name in the playlist, or right-click it and choose Rename. Item actions at the top doesn't offer it.

The text you edit leaves out the file extension, which stays as it is. Names can be up to 255 characters. The new name applies to the item everywhere, including other reviews and Files & Folders.

Work on several items at once

1. Expand the review and select an item.
2. Hold Shift and select another item to select everything between them. Hold ⌘ (Ctrl on Windows and Linux) to add or remove single items.
3. Find the bar at the top of the page. It reads N items selected once you select two or more.
4. Choose an entry:
   • set status lists the statuses and No Status. Every selected item gets the one you choose.
   • Remove selected items (the trash icon) takes the items out of the review.
   • Share selection offers Copy link, a link for people in your organization, and Open in player, which opens only these items in a new tab.
   • Compare items compares the selected items side by side.

Select Clear selection (the X) to close the bar.

Set a thumbnail

1. Open the item in the player and go to the frame you want.
2. Select Item actions (the menu next to the item's name at the top).
3. Choose Set as Thumbnail. revis.io shows "Thumbnail updated".

The thumbnail is the frame you're on, drawings included. The entry appears for items with more than one frame, such as videos. It needs uploads to be turned on for your organization.

Remove items from a review

WARNING

Remove takes effect at once. revis.io doesn't ask you to confirm, and there's no Undo. The item stays in Files & Folders and in any other review that holds it.

1. Select the item, or several items.
2. Right-click one of them.
3. Choose Remove, or Remove items when several are selected. The trash icon in the bar does the same.
