TABLE OF CONTENTS


Providing Feedback

When reviewing an asset, easily provide feedback by marking up the assets using the intuitive annotation tools in the toolbar. Each annotation will automatically be associated with a comment. 


After using one of the annotation tools to create a markup, a comment box will automatically appear in the collaboration panel on the far right of the screen, allowing you to enter a comment related to your annotation on the asset. Annotations and comments will appear for all reviewers in real time. 


Click Post to save your markup.



Every annotation and its related comment will be numbered.

You can attach files related to your comment.

You can mention someone in your Lytho account to notify them of a message.

Your browser’s built-in spell checker will automatically underline any misspelled words in your comments.

 


Page Navigation

The expandable left panel Page Navigator shows all creative assets in the Proof and allows you to navigate to other pages by clicking on the corresponding thumbnail. If an asset has multiple pages, the thumbnail can be expanded to show all pages of the asset and their approval status. This is also a great place for an at-a-glance view of each page’s status based on the stage of the review. Before you submit your own approval statuses, it will show your selected page status. After your Review has been submitted, it will show the aggregate status of each page.



The comment icon indicates if reviewers have made comments on an asset.


You can also navigate through the Proof by selecting the top and bottom navigation. The top dropdown will control moving from asset to asset. The bottom arrows will control moving between pages within a multi-page asset. 



Proof Options

Select the Menu icon in the top right corner of the Review environment to view available proof options. 



Download gives you the option to select the original asset file(s) you wish to download. If multiple files are selected, they will be bundled into a single zip file.


Print allows you to print the proof to PDF. Banners will appear at the bottom of the review environment indicating PDF preparation and readiness. The generated PDF file will include a cover page including grouped approval statuses, images of the assets with annotations alongside reviewer collaboration.


Help will take you to the Lytho Knowledge Base.


Approval Statuses

Before you can submit your Review and complete the Review process, an approval status is required for each page, such as Approved As Is or Change and Resubmit. You can set the approval status by selecting the drop down menu on the bottom right corner of the screen, below the collaboration panel. 


After selecting a status, you can:

  • Apply to Remaining Pages: Updates only the pages without a status in the current asset.
  • Apply to All Pages: Updates all pages in the current asset, not across the entire Review.
  • Apply to Remaining: Updates all unstated pages across the entire Review.




Lytho Pro Tip: If you are approving a Review that includes a large number of pages within an asset, first apply a status to all pages and then edit the status of exceptions as needed.


Setting an approval status does not submit your Review. Once an approval status has been set for each page, you will see the option to Submit in the bottom right corner.



Once all Reviewers have submitted their decisions, anyone with access to the Review can view the aggregate status of the Review from the left-panel dropdown. 





Submitting Reviews

After applying an approval status to all assets in the proof, the Exit button will update so that you can submit your Review. To proceed, click Submit at the bottom right of the page.




Confirm your review submission by selecting Submit in the pop-up modal.



Members of the Proof will be notified via email when all invited Reviewers have submitted their Reviews.
