Creating Revision Requests, Confirmation Request Emails, and Meeting Invitations in Outlook

You can now create revision requests, confirmation request emails, and meeting invitations from Lightning Review.
There's no need to switch to Outlook; necessary information is automatically entered with just mouse operations.
Example: Recipient, Review File Path, Issue ID, etc.

This streamlines review-related tasks.

Merging multiple review files into one

It's common for multiple review files to be created depending on the team structure and operational rules, such as creating review files for each person in charge or having different locations.


Even in such cases, you can easily consolidate them into one later.

For details, please refer to the following link. : Combining multiple review files into one

Checking for missing fields

When saving a review, it detects and notifies you of missing input such as importance and cause process.
The targets for detection can be freely configured to suit your project.

For details, please refer to the following link: : Checking for missing fields

Enhanced review sharing functionality

The following can now be achieved in Lightning Review's sharing mode:

  • You can also save added outlines.
  • You can define and change information (members, fields, etc.) in the [Review Settings] dialog.

This makes it more convenient to use, even when multiple people are reviewing simultaneously.
