Enhance your collaborative learning workflow with Easygenerator's review option and secure it with a password.

Review is a premium feature. Therefore, if you are in the Pro Plan, you should upgrade to the Team or Enterprise Plan to use it.

You can send a request to review your course to any external reviewers, even if they don’t have an Easygenerator account. Just click on the Collaborators icon -> Select the +Add collaborators option -> Navigate to the Reviewer tab -> Enable a password if needed, copy the review link, and send it to your reviewers.

Note: You can also find the Review link from the Comments icon.

Once you navigate to the Reviewer [1] tab from the Collaborators option, click on Enable password [2] to secure your course. You can type your own password [3] or auto-generate it by clicking on the Generate a password icon [4].

Note: We recommend using a strong password of at least 12 characters, including uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Once you are satisfied with the new password, click on Apply [5] and copy the review link with it [6].

As the course owner, you will get in-app notifications about new review comments, replies, mentions by @name, and password changes by the organization's Admin.

Note: Only the course owner and admins can enable/disable/change the review password link. If an Admin changes the password for your course, you can check the details of who changed it, the date, and the time from the Reviewer tab.

Co-authors are unable to change the password but can copy the link and share it with external reviewers.

The reviewers can submit comments on a particular course page or question.

In the Comments window, you will see all the comments added to the course by a reviewer, the reviewer's name, the date and time when the comment was made, the corresponding page title, and the comment status (resolved / unresolved).

You can [1] reply to comments, [2] mark them as resolved / unresolved, and permanently [3] delete them.

The unresolved comments have a grey background and grey checkmark. You can see them on the default first page under the Unresolved tab.

When you resolve the comment, it gets into the Resolved comments tab. Such comments under the Resolved tab have a green background and green checkmark.

Note: In case you are reviewing comments from the course layout and checking the green bubbles to see and resolve the comments, please note that once you resolve the comment from there, the green bubble disappears, but you still can find this comment under the Comments window > the Resolved tab.

As an author or co-author, you can also reply to comments from external reviewers.

Many of you are probably familiar with having threaded conversations in forums and on other platforms, so this feature comes in handy here, where, say, your team needs to discuss the feedback, add notes, or exchange ideas to follow up on comments from your reviewers.

Replies let authors, co-authors, and reviewers respond directly to a comment, keeping the replies organized neatly in a single, threaded conversation right within Easygenerator, in the external review panel.

To make sure everyone who works on the course is up to speed, all replies are visible to all authors, and co-authors.

In order to add a reply:

You can always delete your replies by clicking the 'Delete' button on the right side of your reply comments.

If you edit the course during the review process, make sure to click on the Update course button from the Comments or the Collaborators button -> Reviewer tab to apply the changes and make them visible to external reviewers.

Note: You can also find the Update button by clicking on the red (¡) icon from the Reviewers' list under the Collaborators option:

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

Once you open this link, you will be prompted to enter the course password (if set by the course author/admin) and identify yourself by providing your email and full name to receive a login link to access your comments history.

After providing your email and full name and clicking on Continue, you will find the following options:

[1] Verify your email address via a link to access your comments history and replies from authors.

[2] Resend the email verification link in case you didn't receive it in your inbox.

[3] Continue without verifying your email address - Please note that if you decide to choose this option, you will not be able to check your comments history or the course author's replies.

Once you choose any of the above options, you will be redirected to the course content and can start leaving feedback from the comments icon.

You can add comments to any course structure element including specific content blocks, and click on the Post comment button to submit them.

If you would like to check all your comments and author's replies, you will need to find the most recent email with the subject: “Access your course to review”. Click on the green button Log in and access comments.

Note: The link to access comments history works only once so you can't use it again as it expires after the first attempt due to security reasons. Also, as long as you stay within the same browser, you will be able to see your comments and replies history. The number of comments will be added to a green circle icon so you can click on it to unfold your comments and author's replies:
