Draft Review: Collaborative Editing Options

The system currently offers three different ways to perform a Draft Review: Online Collaborative Editing, Sequential Reviews on Local Device, and Annotation on Screen. This article will explore the details of the Online Collaborative Editing option.

 

This option enables real-time, simultaneous editing of documents by multiple users. This facilitates a more dynamic and interactive review process, allowing for immediate adjustments and collaborative refinement of content.
