Paligo makes it easy to collaborate on authoring and reviewing content. When you need other team members to review and add to your content, Paligo lets you manage this process within the app. Instead of back and forth emails and attachments and trying to keep track of all the different versions of the content outside of the authoring environment, Paligo lets you collaborate on the content within the same place that it is authored. Let's take a look. Contributor users can review and edit content assigned to or shared with them, while reviewer users can only review and leave comments on content. Contributor and reviewer users can only view content in Paligo that has been assigned to them or shared with them. Starting a review assignment is simple. First, change the status of the content to in review. Then you can start a review assignment for that content. Complete the wizard for the assignment. Choose the user or user group that you want to review the content. Set a start date and end date for the assignment, and also include a custom message giving some context or special instructions for the review if you like. After you kick off the assignment, the assigned user will receive an email notification saying they need to review content from you. They can simply click the link in the email to open the review assignment and start looking at the content. From the review view, the reviewer can leave comments on individual elements. Every comment has an associated user time and date. This way, your authors can see how recent the comments are. Once the reviewer is done commenting, they can complete the assignment. Once the review assignment is finished, the author can open the content and make adjustments based on the comments left by the reviewer. When a comment has been acknowledged, you can mark it and archive it when no longer needed. Contribution assignments work very similarly to review assignments. First, change the status of the content to in review. Then you can start a contributor assignment for that content. Like for review, choose the user or user group that you want to contribute to the content, set a start and end date for the assignment, and even include custom message giving some context or special instructions for what you want the contributor to do. After you begin the assignment, the assigned user will receive an email notification. The main difference with a contribution assignment is that the user can not only add comments to the content, but can also edit the content directly using the contributor editor. Contributors can even start topics of their own within the contributor editor. Just like when authoring, only one user can review the content at a time. Content is checked out when one user is looking at it, so this prevents user from stepping on each other's contributions at the same time. Simply put, collaboration on content is easy in Paligo, and these workflows help you finalize your content faster.
