Advanced CMS - Add-on for Advanced & External reviews

Please take a look at a new Open Source add-on that improves the reviewing process and lets external users to view & review content without the need to access the Edit Mode.

Highlights

  • Context aware smart reviewing
  • Allow external reviewers to access unpublished data
  • Provide token-based, expirable links to any content version
  • Visually express issues in reviewed content by highlighting or adding screenshots
  • MIT licensed
  • Not officially supported by EPiServer - both authors (Greg Wiecheć & Bart Sekuła) are EPiServer employees, however this add-on, at the moment, is not going to be included in the Core product. We will maintain it on our own.

Please see it in action:

External review component

This is an Edit mode component used to generate external review links. There are two types of links:

  • view - external reviewer can preview draft content version
  • editable - external reviewver can add comments using advanced review widget

Share dialog

Editor can share external review links using share dialog. The [#link#] constant will be replaced with link to content.

Below is an email example:

Security

/externalContentReviews location is only accessible to users who are members of the ExternalReviewers role. You will have to manually add personal user accounts or a shared user account that could be used by the external reviews.

Install

Install-Package Advanced.CMS.AdvancedReviews

Please note that we are now in BETA, there may still be issues that we try to fix as soon as we can.
