Learn how to share Review Links for external viewing.
Sharing a Review Link
Assemble enables you to share Review Links with anyone on the web, allowing them to view the file, leave feedback and change the status with no login required.
To share a Private Review Link, open the file and click Share in the upper right hand corner. From the dropdown, select Share a Review Link.
From this menu, you can set the options for your Review Link.
- Edit File Name: Change the name of the file for the Review Link. This will not change the name of the file within Assemble.
- Share as Presentation: This will turn on presentation mode, which will display the file full screen and disable comments. It will also give the viewer the ability to switch between day and night mode.
- Enable Download: This will enable viewers to download the file directly from the review link.
- Enable Password Protection: Add a password that must be entered before anyone can view the Review Link.
Once you have selected the appropriate options, click Create Link to generate a share link. You can copy and paste this URL, or click the Email tab to send it via email directly from Assemble.
To update these settings at any time, open the review link options and click Update Link. The settings will automatically be updated for anyone accessing the review link.
Viewing and Leaving Feedback on Review Links
When an external user opens a private review link, they will be able to view the file, change the status and leave comments.
Before they can change the status or leave comments, they will be prompted to enter their Name so that you can keep track of their activity.
Review Link Feedback Thread
When a Private Review Link is created, an additional feedback thread is added to the file within your Assemble project. Any feedback that is left on this Private Review Link by any viewer will be collected here. This allows you to keep all feedback from the link organized and separate from your Assemble collaborators. These comments will be visible to all collaborators on the project.
Note: Each file can only have one Private Review Link.

Updating a Review Link
To update the review link settings at any time, open the file and click Share, then Share a Review Link. Make any changes to the settings that you'd like, then click Update Link to update the review link settings. These settings will automatically be reflected across the review links for this file, with no need to re-share the document.
Deleting a Review Link
To delete a review link, open the file of choice, click Share and select Share a Review Link.
From this menu, click the Down Arrow next to Update Link and select Delete Link.
This will delete the link permanently, along with all review link comments, and remove any user's ability to access it.
