How are Guest Collaborators different from Guest Reviewers?

Let's differentiate the two!

Guest Collaborators

Guest Reviewers

Guest Collaborators:

Anyone who collaborates on your zipBoard project using the login required share link is referred to as a guest collaborator. Guest collaborators when invited to collaborate, need to signup and then they can review the file they are invited to collaborate on.

Collaborators within zipBoard are individuals invited directly through the platform using the “add collaborator” button. They have full access to the project and its assets, allowing them to contribute feedback, comments, and annotations throughout the review process.

In contrast, guest collaborators have a more limited role. They can only review an asset once a shared link has been granted to them. Unlike collaborators, guest collaborators do not have access to the project interface and cannot interact directly within zipBoard. Instead, they are directed to the specific file being reviewed via the shared link. This ensures that guest collaborators can provide feedback on the relevant content without accessing the broader project environment.

Workflow for Guest Collaborators

  • Receive a Link from the Project Manager

    The external reviewer will receive a shared link from the project manager. Their access and permissions will depend on the settings configured for the shared link.

Guest Reviewers

Anyone who reviews your  zipBoard  project using the no login required share link is referred to as a guest reviewer. Guest reviewers when invited to review, doesn't need to signup to zipBoard. They can directly review the files they are invited to review.

Importantly, guest reviewers do not have access to the project as a whole; rather, they are limited to accessing and providing feedback on the specific file being reviewed.

Workflow for Guest Reviewers

  • Access the Shared Link

    External reviewers will receive a shared link from the project manager. The content and permissions they see will depend on the settings of the shared link.
