Review Versions
At the start of a new project we will send you a link to your Versions folder. Bookmark that and share it with your team. Go there now, right click and choose “Review” to preview any video and photography version.
Our versions are easy to track because we include the date on every file we export. We use a reverse date (year-month-day eg: 2024-11-03) so that versions are displayed top to bottom when sorted alphanumerically.
You can also confirm which file is the latest version by clicking “Modified” to sort by date modified in that column.
Send Feedback
It’s easy to provide feedback on the latest version of any project. Right click on the file and choose “Email Comments” to launch your preferred email app and have your feedback saved in your sent mail.
When reviewing video it’s a good idea to note the time in the video you are referring to – we pretty good at interpreting feedback on our work so don’t hold back :-)
Right click and choose “Email Comments”.
