A review is a page you create to share your creative assets with your clients and collaborators. You can explain your work, request favorites or approval, set a due date, and discuss ideas with comments. All your feedback is gathered automatically in one easy overview.
You can create as many reviews as you would like — create one instantly from the home page, or create and gather them inside a portal page.
Add comments and markup to your review items
First things first, open up Portals from the top navigation menu on WeTransfer.com.
Create a review
- From the Portals home page, you can get started with a new review right away by clicking the 'Create review' button in the top-right corner of the home page, or on the '+' button next to the Review title.
- You can also create and add a review to one of your portals. Open your portal and click 'Create review' in the top-right corner of the portal page. Anyone with access to that review link can access all reviews within that portal.
Add your files
- Drag and drop the items would like reviewed onto the screen. Alternatively, you can click on 'Upload files' and select your desired files. You can add all file types as well as embed Collect boards and Paste® decks.
- Click on '+ Add' in case you want to add additional files. You can add as many items as you need to the review.
- Once your files are uploaded you can add a title by clicking on 'Review Title' and typing in your chosen title for the review.
- To complete your review description, click on 'Add a description to your review' and type in the appropriate information for this section.
- To set your preferred display mode, you can toggle between “Thumbnail" or "Walkthrough" by clicking the button in the top left corner (next to + Add).
We currently support previewing of PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, TIFF, .MOV and .MP4 files. You can read more on what file types you can preview on portals here.

Add comments and markup to your review items
It is possible to add comments and markup annotations on each item within your review.
