The Review option allows you to review a document, change sentences, phrases and other page elements, correct spelling, etc. without actually editing it. All the changes will be recorded and shown to the user who created the document.
In order to enable the review option, the review parameter in the permissions section of the document initialization must be set to true. The document status bar will contain the Review menu option.
In case the edit parameter is set to true and the review parameter is also set to true, the user will be able to edit the document, accept or reject the changes and switch to the review mode him/herself.
In case the edit parameter is set to false and the review parameter is set to true, the document will be available for reviewing only.
var docEditor = new DocsAPI.DocEditor("placeholder", { "document": { "permissions": { "edit": false, "review": true }, ... }, ... });
Specify the group (or several groups separated with commas) the user belongs to by adding the field group to the user parameter in the editorConfig section.
var docEditor = new DocsAPI.DocEditor("placeholder", { "editorConfig": { "user": { "id": "78e1e841", "name": "John Smith", "group": "Group1,Group2" } }, ... }); var docEditor = new DocsAPI.DocEditor("placeholder", { "editorConfig": { "user": { "id": "F89d8069ba2b", "name": "Kate Cage", "group": "Group2" } }, ... });
Specify the access rights using the reviewGroups parameter in the permissions section of the editor initialization.
var docEditor = new DocsAPI.DocEditor("placeholder", { "document": { "permissions": { "reviewGroups": ["Group1", "Group2"], ... } ... }, ... });
["Group1", "Group2"] means that user can review changes made by users from Group1 and Group2.
The reviewGroups parameter can take the value of an empty group. This means that the user can review changes made by users who do not belong to any of the groups (for example, the document that is reviewed in third-party editors).
var docEditor = new DocsAPI.DocEditor("placeholder", { "document": { "permissions": { "reviewGroups": ["Group2", ""], ... } ... }, ... });
["Group2", ""] means that user can review changes made by users from Group2 and users who do not belong to any of the groups.
