Reviews with Adobe Experience Manager Guides and FrameMaker

Know how you can perform AEM Guides based review and work with review comments in FrameMaker.

The review functionality allows you to sync, view and reply to comments received from reviewers. For this functionality to work, you must have AEM Guides installed on your AEM server.

Using the review feature provided in AEM Guides, an author can initiate a document review from AEM. Multiple reviewers can review a single topic and share their comments. The comments can then be viewed and managed from the Review Comments panel in FrameMaker.

Note: You cannot initiate a review task from FrameMaker, but you can post comments on the topics. They are reflected in AEM when you sync the same topic in AEM.
