You can use the review link in Easygenerator to share your course with reviewers and collect feedback, even if they do not have an Easygenerator account. Reviewers can open the link in their browser, navigate through the course, and leave comments.

All feedback appears directly in your Easygenerator editor, where you can reply, resolve discussions, or remove comments.

Note: The review link feature is available on Team and Enterprise plans.

How to send a review link

  1. Open your course in the Easygenerator editor.

  2. Click the + icon (Manage collaborators) in the top panel.

  3. Select + Add collaborators.

  4. Go to the Reviewer tab.

    • Optional: Enable Password protection if you want to restrict access.

  5. Copy the review link and share it with your reviewers.

Note: You can also access the review link from the Comments icon.

Course updates during review

If you edit your course while it is being reviewed, you must update the review link so reviewers can see the latest version. Changes made in the editor are not visible to reviewers until the review link is updated.

To update the review link, navigate to the Collaborators panel:

  1. Select + Add collaborators or the orange "i" icon next to Reviewers.

  2. Open the Reviewer tab.

  3. Click Update course to publish your changes to the review link.

Note: You can also access the Update course button from the Comments panel by clicking on the Review link not updated label (orange "i" icon) at the bottom of the panel.

Protecting your review link with a password

You can protect your review link with a password to ensure that only authorized reviewers can access your course:

  1. Open the Collaborators panel and go to the Reviewer tab.

  2. Click Enable password to turn on password protection.

  3. Enter your own password, or click the Generate password icon to create one automatically.

  4. When you are ready, click Apply to save the password.

  5. Generate a review link, or copy the updated review link and share it with your reviewers.

Comments

Reviewers can leave comments on any pages and questions in a course. You can view and manage all feedback in the Comments window inside the editor.

Each comment shows:

  • The reviewer’s name

  • The date and time the comment was added

  • The page or question where the comment was made

  • The comment status (resolved or unresolved)

You can:

  1. Reply to a comment

  2. Mark a comment as resolved

  3. Edit a comment (from the three-dot menu)

  4. Delete a comment permanently (from the three-dot menu)

When a comment as is marked as resolved, it moves to the Resolved tab in the Comments window.

Note: If you resolve a comment directly from its comment bubble in the course editor, the comment disappears from the comment bubble, but is still visible in the Resolved tab.

Replies to comments

Authors and co-authors can reply to comments from reviewers. Replies create a threaded conversation, allowing your team to discuss feedback, add notes, and follow up on specific points directly within Easygenerator.

All replies are visible to every author and co-author working on the course, ensuring that everyone stays aligned.

To add a reply:

  1. Click Reply at the bottom of the comment you want to respond to.

  2. Type your message.

  3. Click Reply again, or press Ctrl + Enter to submit your response.

Note: You can delete your own replies at any time by clicking Delete next to the reply.

Notifications

As the course owner, you receive in-app notifications when:

  • A reviewer adds a new comment

  • Someone replies to an existing comment

  • You are mentioned using @name

  • An Organization Admin changes the review link password

Note: Only the course owner and Organization Admins can enable, disable, or change the password for a review link. If an Organization Admin updates the password for your course, you can view the details (e.g. who changed it and when) in the Reviewer tab under the Collaborators panel.

Co-authors cannot change the password, but can copy the review link and share it with reviewers.

How it works for reviewers

As a reviewer, you will receive a review link from the course author and, if relevant, a password.

Accessing the course

  1. Open the review link.

  2. If the course is password-protected: Enter the course password to proceed.

  3. Provide your email address and full name.

    This information is used to identify the reviewer and send them a login link that gives reviewers access to their comment history.

After entering your details and clicking Continue, you will see three options:

  1. Verify email: Open a verification link sent to your inbox. This option allows you to view your comment history and see replies from authors.

  2. Resend link: Sends another verification link if you did not receive the first one.

  3. Continue without verification: Grants access to the course, but you will not be able to view past comments or replies from the course author.

Note: If you do not see the verification link in your inbox, please check your Junk Email folder.

After selecting an option, you will be redirected to the course.

Giving feedback on the course

You can leave comments on any part of the course to provide feedback:

  1. Hover over any block, section, or title in the course.

  2. Click on the Comment icon and type your comment.

  3. Click on the Comment button to submit your feedback.

To review your comments and see replies from the author, open the most recent email with the subject “Access your course to review” and click Log in and access comments.

Notes:

  • The login link works once and expires after first use for security reasons.

  • As long as you remain in the same browser session, you can continue viewing your comment history.

  • The number of comments appears in the comment bubble icon; clicking it shows all comments and author replies.


FAQs

Do reviewers need an Easygenerator account?

No. Reviewers access a course and leave comments using a review link. They only need to provide their name and email to track their comments.

Why do reviewers need to verify their email?

Email verification allows reviewers to access their comment history and see author replies. They can skip verification, but they will not be able to view past comments.

What happens if I change the course after sending the review link?

You must click Update course in the Reviewer or Comments panel. Changes are not visible to reviewers until the update is applied.

Can reviewers see each other’s comments?

No. Reviewers can only see their own comments and replies from the author or co-authors.

Can I delete or resolve reviewer comments?

Yes. Course owners and co-authors can resolve comments by clicking on the tick icon next to the comment. Comments can be deleted from the three-dot menu.
