Introduction

The Commenting and Collaboration allows users to invite collaborators and get feedback directly on their showcases. Instead of complicated back-and-forth communication, you can now streamline feedback and collaboration directly within SmartCue.

How Does It Work?

Showcase creators can invite guests, viewers, editors, and admins to join and collaborate on their showcases. Each role has different permissions and restrictions, which are explained below.

When someone is invited, they will receive an invite email. From this email, they can preview the showcase and add their comments.

Who can Invite?

  • Admin: Can invite guests, viewers, editors, and other admins.
  • Editors: Can only invite guests.

    • When someone adds a comment, the showcase owner and/or the original commenter get an email notification.

    • When a comment is resolved, the showcase owner and the commenters in that comment thread get an email notification.

  4. Resolve and Unresolve Comments:

    • Commentator, editor and admin can mark comments as resolved once the question has been addressed.
    • If needed, they can also unresolve comments to reopen the discussion.
