REVIEW ROOM Medical publication review

Stop chasing author approvals through email threads

Give every manuscript, abstract, poster, presentation, or deck one review room for comments, changes, version control, and approvals.

BEFORE AND AFTER

From scattered inbox approvals to one controlled record

Email makes every reviewer, attachment, and approval feel separate. The Approval workspace pulls the whole review into one room with one current version and one exportable history.

WORKFLOW

One clean path from draft to approval

01

Upload the draft

Start a room for a manuscript, abstract, poster, presentation, or deck.

02

Invite reviewers

Give internal and external reviewers a clear place to review without forwarding attachments or hunting for links.

03

Close out each comment

Your team assigns an editor to record whether each change or comment was incorporated, deferred, or declined.

04

Export the record

Download a clean history of reviewers, decisions, timestamps, versions, and how each comment or change was handled.

PEOPLE & ROLES

Clear roles in every room

Use Lead, Editors, Reviewers, and Observers so everyone knows what they can do before final sign-off. Review groups organize the workflow; roles control permissions.

Lead
Runs the room

The Lead manages people, settings, versions, closeout, and exports.

Editors
Resolve comments and changes

Editors upload drafts, reply to comments, and record what changed.

Reviewers
Comment or approve

Reviewers add comments, request changes, and approve when their sign-off is required.

Observers
Read-only visibility

Observers can follow the room without changing the record.

AUDIT TRAIL

Know exactly who did what.

Every review room keeps a time-stamped record of document access, comments, changes, approvals, version uploads, and exports. When the review closes, the history is already organized.
