Is it possible to set Articulate Review to hide other people's comments?
Hello everyone,
I'd like to know whether is possible to set Articulate Review so that one person can't see other people's comments.
While the project is ongoing I do the usual evaluation on Articulate Review and for this purpose it's ok that all SMEs can see what others said. After this phase, once all the elements are finalised, the course will be evaluated by a large pool of testers within the company (in addition to the SMEs that participated in the course development) before being uploaded on the company's LMS and made available for their personnel.
For this "beta version" I don't want people to see what others said on every slide. I searched for an answer to my problem in previous discussions but I didn't find anything related to this specific matter and it appears that it's not really possible.
The only alternative I see would be to upload the course on Articulate Review disabling comments and create an online survey (with google modules for example) but I'd really like to be able to use Review for this purpose, as people could actually see the course and post comments at the same time.
Thanks in advance for your help!

This would be a very helpful and appreciated feature. Has planning for this been moved up in the last 4 years?

I think this would be a great feature to add. Often I see that reviewers will image the feedback they already see on the screen and would be beneficial to hear their own perspective/opinions.
Hello Training Academy!
Thanks for sharing that you'd like to see this feature in Review 360. I'll go ahead and add your voice to the request. It's not currently on our feature roadmap, but I'll be sure to update this discussion if our team decides to reroute!

We would also be interested in this feature. We would like comments from various reviewers on the same review file but for them not to see each others. Can you provide a date for when you think this might be viable? Thanks
Hi, Chris!
Thanks so much for sharing these points and use cases. I'll certainly relay your comments to our team!

Thanks Kelly, is a private/public kind of thing for Review even on the roadmap?
Hi Chris,
The feature you're interested in hasn't made its way to our product roadmap yet, but we'll be sure to leave a message here in case we have any new updates to share!

+1 on functionality to have private and public comments. Its a common UI we're all used to, say in Slack or in a Zoom/Teams meeting, right? "Send a message to only one person or to the whole room".
I'd recommend the UI allow the commenter to designate it (perhaps default to public but can set it private).
Further, assuming the reviewer sets up an Articulate ID, that the course owner or perhaps anyone on the team license can adjust the permissions of a reviewer such as to designate them only private. This could be for the Negative Nancy's or perhaps if someone makes a dark turn in the review process, they could be muted by flipping them to private.
Lastly, comment level adjustment: The publisher (anyone on the team license really) could update a comment already made that's public to 'hide' by flipping it to private. Look at me with all these free UX recommendations. That we may not get lol.
Or maybe even allow an option if the commenter is set to private, they can still comment and request it public. The course owner could accept the public request to open up the comment for visibility or ignore or decline and the comment stays private to owner/team. - ElizabethRaskinCommunity Member
Agreed- this is a much needed feature for my team. We need to engage in multiple rounds of external review but we also need to keep our reviewer's feedback hidden from each other, as it must remain anonymous.

I as well would like this feature.

Going to add my hat into the ring here. I need exactly this - a way to hide reviewer comments from everyone except the publisher's account.

Hi Katrina!
While we do not have the original demo from Lauren, I produced a new one for you.
Let me know if that helps, or if you need additional assistance!

+1 - this would be a great value add to Review 360
