Overview
At any stage during the creation process, you can easily send your video (via link) to reviewers in order to get valuable feedback from a range of perspectives. These reviewers can include teams in your organization who do not have access to the SundaySky platform as well as stakeholders outside of your organization. To facilitate the reviewing process, we recommend that reviewers aggregate all their comments pertaining to an individual video in one shared document. After receiving feedback, you can make the required edits and then generate a fresh preview link.
The link you generate can include the entire video or selected scenes.
Generating a preview link is a quick and easy process, after which you can send the link via any means. There is no limit to the number of links that can be generated for an individual video. A preview link is active for 30 days, after which it expires.
