1. Add the details you'd like for the state. You can see more details on creating a state here: Adding a State

2. Indicate whether your state will be a Design State or a Review State

    • Design State: used for states that do not require any external members or actions. 
    • Review State: intended for adding external users and setting up actions (review, approve, reject) applicable to the state.

3. Be sure to click Save before moving on to the next step

3. Move Signs into the Review State

Next, select all the signs that are ready for review, and move them into your new review state.To do this, simply click on the drop-down list at the top of your sign editing dialog, and choose "Review"

4. Invite Client to Review

Once you're confident that everything is ready to be reviewed, you can invite the client to the Review state.

1. Select Permissions

Add a User

1. Type the email of the user into the text box. 

2. Click the plus icon beside their email or any of the suggested emails below

3. Select the permission level to assign them


Finally, click Save.

If you want to, you can customize the names of each action by adjusting the text under "Actions"

Note also that only users whose emails are within the Assigned Users field will be able to approve, reject, etc. (including admins!)

Once you've added your client into Assigned Users and clicked Save, your client will then get an email asking them to create an account and review your signs.

They will only be able to see signs that are within the Review state.

They will be able to approve, reject, or comment on signs within that state, but they won't be able to move signs or edit their data directly.

Once they're finished, you should receive an email notifying you that the review is complete.
