Review Links

Review Links are an easy way to send files to clients and collaborators for asynchronous feedback. Text and annotations can be added as comments to video, audio and images at specific timestamps for frame-accurate feedback. You can also enable downloads to easily share files with your collaborators.

From the Filespaces page​

  1. In your dashboard at app.louper.io, navigate to the Filespaces page and open the Filespace for the project you’re working on.
  2. Navigate to the files or folders you’d like to share.
  3. Right-click on those files or folders, and choose Create Review Link.
  4. Give your link a name and configure settings.
  5. Downloads are disabled by default, but you can enable them by toggling the Allow Downloads switch on.
  6. Arrange the order you'd like files to be reviewed in and click Done.
  7. Share the link and passphrase (if enabled) with your collaborators.

From the Review Links page​

  1. In your dashboard at app.louper.io, navigate to the Review Links page.
  2. Click Create Review Link.
  3. Select the files or folders you'd like to share. Note that you can only select files and folders from a single Filespace.
  4. Give your link a name and configure settings.
  5. Downloads are disabled by default, but you can enable them by toggling the Allow Downloads switch on.
  6. Arrange the order you'd like files to be reviewed in, then click Done.
  7. Share the link and passphrase (if enabled) with your collaborators.

A Review Link will first open on the main page, displaying all the files and folders contained in the link. Click to open the file or folder you'd like to view. If there is only one file, that file will open automatically:

  1. You can play the file, and when you’re ready to add a comment, you can either pause playback or click on the Comments box and playback will pause automatically.
  2. Type your comment and click Post to save it.
  3. You can also select the paintbrush tool in the bottom tool bar, pick a color and draw on screen.
  4. Click Post to save this drawing as a timestamped comment. You can also combine text and drawing in the same comment.
  5. Comments can be replied to in-thread, or marked as complete.
  6. A full list of comments can be downloaded in the format of your choice at any time by clicking the Download Comments button in the Comments panel.
  7. You can select an alternative file to view in the Sources drop-down menu below the viewer.
  8. Or click on “Back to all files” to return to the main page to see all files in the link.
note

The comments applied to a file in a Review Link, Presentation Room or Livestream Room will be attached to the file itself and will be visible wherever that file is accessible. This means that comments applied to a file in a Presentation Room, for example, will be visible in any of the Review Links that contain that file. Opening the file within the Louper Dashboard will also open any comments attached to that file.

  1. If downloads are enabled, you can download individual files by opening an individual file and clicking the Download button in the top right of the file’s page.
  2. You can download all the files in the review link by navigating back to All Files, and clicking on the Download All button in the top right of the Overview page.
note

You may need to enable “multiple downloads” in your browser to support this. In Chrome, the choice to enable multiple downloads is stored per-site. Please navigate to: Settings › Privacy and Security › Site Settings › Additional permissions › Automatic downloads to enable this.

info

When downloading multiple folders, the folder structure wont be preserved. You may prefer to share .zip files to preserve specific folder structures.

  1. In your Louper dashboard, click on Review Links in the sidebar page to see an overview of all the Review Links in your team.
  2. You can also navigate to your project’s Filespace and click on the Review Links tab to view all the Review Links specific to that Filespace
  3. Review Links can be marked as “Active” or “Inactive” by clicking the toggle button
  4. You can click the Copy link button to share the Review Link, or click on the Open link button to open it
  5. Clicking on the three-dot Actions button allows you to edit or delete the Review Link, or create a Presentation Room containing the same files as the Review Link.
  6. Selecting Edit will open the Review Link settings dialog, where you can change the Review Link name, change the passphrase setting, and add, remove or re-order the files in the link and enable or disable downloads.
note

If your Review Link contains a folder, any changes made to that folder in your Filespace will automatically update the Review Links containing that folder.
