I have a feature request.
As an editor, can I see a list of comments other editors have made on the web dashboard somehow instead of just getting an email?

Also, there needs to be a better way to do peer-reviews of content that Editors have authored. What I would request is a different user type altogether that can write notes on different content but doesn't have access to edit it.

@John Regarding the first request, you can view all revision notes in the Admin area. Here are instructions for doing so: https://help.screensteps.com/a/1022042-how-to-view-all-revision-notes

Regarding your second request, I created a feature request: https://support.screensteps.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360051710512-Add-Reviewer-User-Type-no-edit-access-

Thanks for your feedback!

I can't see "Revision Notes" on the Dashboard on the side when I am logged in as an "Editor." So, that defeats the purpose of another person making a note because I have to drill down through all my content just to see if anything has a red dot indicating a new note was made.

@John - You are correct and I have good news. We are currently working on a UI update that shows all revision notes in the dashboard on the side.

@Trevor Thank you! I already see the "UI update that shows all revision notes in the dashboard on the side."

I am following the feature request about adding a "Reviewer" user type, thank you. My team is anxiously awaiting this awesome new feature.
