Objective

Steps

  1. Navigate to the project's Document Management tool.
  2. Make sure you are in the Documents tab.
  3.  Click on the saved view called Assigned to Me that is in the 'In Review' collection. 
    Note: You can also access these documents from other saved views, such as 'All Documents' at the bottom. If you have been given 'Create Markup' permissions, the 'Assigned to Me' saved view is not the only place where you can find documents that you can markup. 
  4. Click the In Review tab.
  5. Open the document that you want to add markups to.
    This opens the viewer.
  6. The workflow icon-workflow-pdm.png panel automatically opens if a workflow is applied to the item. Click the x to close the panel if you want to see other functions in the viewer such as the markup icon-markup-pdm.png list.
  7. Add markups to the document as necessary. See the Markup Options section below for information about the markup tools.
  8. When you are finished adding markups, click Close to exit out of the viewer and return back to the list of documents.
