Sending a Video for Review

Updated December 05, 2023 19:00

Introduction

The first step in collaborating on a video is to send the video to others for review. Both SundaySky users and those without access to the SundaySky platform can review a video.

The video that you send is a "snapshot" of the video at the specific time and date on which it was sent. If you make changes to the video in the platform after sending it for review, those changes are not reflected in the video that others have received. To see the changes that you have made, you'll need to send a new version for review. There is no limit to the number of times that you can send the same video for review.

After a video is sent for review, a history is created. When you access this history, you'll see a list of all the past reviews. By each review version, you'll be able to see to whom the video was sent.

2.	Click the preview button in the workspace.

3.	(Optional) If your video includes personalization, you can select the viewer profile that will define what content is included in the video sent for review. ▶ If your video does not include personalization or you would like to see the default content without any personalization, skip this step.
