Add comments and markup to your review items
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 a review instantly from the WeTransfer homepage or create and gather them inside a reviews page. The number of reviews you can create depends on your plan type:
