Guide for reviewers
Reviewing a document
You have been asked to read an agreement and share your comments. As a reviewer you do not sign anything; your comments help the signatories decide.
Step by step
- 1Open your review linkUse the button in the “For your review” email. It opens the document in your browser; there is nothing to install and no account to create. The link is personal to you.
- 2Read the documentScroll through the pages, or download the revision as a PDF. If there is more than one revision, the Changes tab shows exactly what changed, word by word.
- 3Comment on the exact placePress Add a comment, then tap the place on the page your comment is about, and write it. You can reply to other people’s comments, and mark your own as resolved when they have been dealt with.
- 4Suggest wording (optional)Press Suggested edits, tap a paragraph and type the wording you would like. It is sent as a suggestion; nothing changes until the sender accepts it.
- 5Follow progressThe People tab shows who is signing and who has signed. You can open your link again at any time, including after the agreement is signed, to read the final version.
Who sees your comments
- If you are reviewing for the organisation receiving the agreement, your comments are seen by everyone signing or reviewing for that organisation, and by the sender.
- If you are reviewing internally for the sender, your comments are seen only by the sender’s team, never by the other organisation. Your review email says which applies to you.
Comments are kept beside the document. They never change its wording.
Reviewers cannot sign, request changes on behalf of a signatory, or invite other people. If you think a change is needed, say so in a comment and the signatories can ask for it.
