Share for Review - Not Working
I have tried share for review both with clients (who have CC) and with my team members (who all also have CC) and have been unsuccessful every time. When selecting the link that is sent to the users email, they are then redirected to their "Synced Files" and not the review link.
This has happened whether we share it as private, public w/ password, or public. We have also tried logging out of CC and back in with no luck.

Share Review Highlight tool not showing on the desktop version
I am using Version 16.0.1 x 64 and decided to test Share Review. I noticed that the highlight tool Is only showing in the online version. When I activate the comments on the desktop Version I see that there should be a comment on that page but doesn't show the text to be highlighted. (I tried Changing the colour of the highlight and still Not showing) - I am leaving the comment as a guest.

Share for Review -Disappearing tools
I have Indesign 16.0.
On my first test of share for review, all the tools appeared.
after saving it they disappeared. Then I saw that save as function disrupts the process.
Then I signed out of my account and rebooted.
When I signed back in the tools were there again.
I opened another document (made in InDesign 16.0) and the tools were gone.THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!
How do I get the tools to stay consistently?2 votes -
Review is good start but needs a lot of work
Intermittent issue with review panel appearing blank, needs restart to refresh it.
Document and panel comments jump around making it painful to use in a long document. Panel seems to constantly refresh which appears to be causing the issue? Today can't see any comments or update from my side (see screenshot)
It would be nice to have comments panel work as the pdf review

Share for Review – Filename for the reviewer
I am loving this relatively new feature, but struggling to get full buy in from my reviewers because the filename displayed in their email notification is an Adobe generated random name and not the name of the actually file you are sharing. How can you make sure that the review filename is the same as the name of the actual Indesign document?
The attached is an example of 3 such emails.
I don't understand why the filename is not replicated.

Share For Review, only getting shape tool and pin tool.
In share for review, I only see the pin tool and the shape tool. All of the other reviewing tools that I should be seeing are missing. They appear briefly and then disappear.
2 votesIf the Share for Review was created using the previous version of InDesign – InDesign 2020 (v 15.1/v15.1.1/v15.1.2), then only 2 Tools are visible in the browser – Pin and Draw.
The new Text Tools in Share for Review – Highlight, Strikethrough, and Replace are available ONLY if :
1) Share for Review is initiated from InDesign 2021.
2) Opening a document that was created in an earlier version and initiating Share for Review from InDesign 2021.
3) For Share for Review created from InDesign 2020 (v 15.1/v15.1.1/v15.1.2), you click on the Update Link button in the Share for Review panel in InDesign 2021. (You may have to hit the Refresh button in the browser if the Review was already open there).—

Last updated stays on 'this week'.
My version is 15.1.2
It seemed to work before, but the 'timestamp' when I click on Update Link remains 'this week'. I remember before it said something like 'X minutes ago'.
2 votesThe issue has been fixed in the latest release of InDesign – InDesign 2021.
Please update to this new version of InDesign to get the fix.—

All my coments vanished
I am experiencing a serious issue with InDesign Share for Review and need assistance recovering review comments.
I created an InDesign document and shared it using Share for Review. Around 10 collaborators participated and left more than 200 comments. More than a week later, I reopened the file to apply the feedback, and all comments were loading and working normally.
While working on the document, my internet connection was temporarily interrupted for a few minutes. After the connection was restored, the review stopped working. The comments no longer appear in InDesign, the review seems to have disappeared from my account,…

bug: share for review panel shows previously opened file instead of current file
When doing an "update content", the Share for Review panel is frequently showing the previously opened file instead of the one currently being worked in, even if that previously worked on file is closed. You have to close and restart the whole InDesign program to reset the panel so its correct.

Sharing for review results in an error. InDesign 21.2
When sharing for review, when I modify content and it updates, it takes longer than usual and eventually throws an error. This has happened three times already. Then I have to create a new review link. The downside is that if the document already has comments or corrections marked, I have to open the previous link.

Share link is buggy in 2026 version
I recently updated to Adobe InDesign 21.1 and have had several issues with the Share for Review link.
InDesign periodically just drops the link and I have to create a new one to share so I loose what comments people have made already.
- When I click on SHARE button on the top left of my screen that says “Share for Review - create link to capture feedback” in order to update the link it gives me an error code that says “There was an error updating the artifact.” It won't update.
- Items that were “pinned” switch to “unmapped” when I…

PDF Kommentare und Share for Review angleichen
Ansich ist das ja eine gute Sache, aber warum unterscheiden sich die Kommentarfunktionen zu denen im Adobe Acrobat.
wenn ich PDF Kommentare aus einen PDF importiere, kann ich die per Mausklick übernehmen. Bei der überprüfen Funktion geht das nicht.
Bitte die Kommentarfunktionen aus Acrobat genau so auch im Share for Review übernehmen.-

Review Links Deleted
I was having issues yesterday EOD publishing a review link. I wound up leaving for the day as it wasn't working. When I got back in this morning, I went to my review link files on adobe.com and noticed a grayed-out placeholder link that was seemingly corrupt that I couldn't open.
I deleted the file. When I did so, ALL of my review links disappeared, and none of them are working anymore.
I can't seem find any way to get them back. Furthermore, I can't seem to create new ones.
What can I do?

Share for review suddenly aligned left
Since a few weeks ago (maybe longer) I've noticed that when viewing documents in Share for Review (I think this happens in Illustrator as well as InDesign) everything is aligned to the left of the screen. I'm pretty sure it used to be centered. I don't think this is a browser-specific issue - I first noticed it in Microsoft Edge but saw the same thing when I opened in Firefox.

Horizontal scrollbar in Adobe Preview is hard to find.
My clients are complaining that when they enlarge the page view in Adobe Preview, they can't see half the page and don't see a way to scroll to it. The problem is the slider at the bottom of the browser window doesn't appear until you hover over it with the cursor - and once you do, it is very shallow and hard to click on, especially for older clients with less than perfect vision.
Could this not be made visible once the view is enlarged, and make it a bit thicker so less nimble hands can click on it?1 vote -
Where is the link to online Files in Creative Cloud Desktop?
Up until recently, when I shared InDesign files, I was able to open the CC Desktop app, go to Files > Files, and there would be a direct link to my online files. That very convenient feature has disappeared completely. My workaround has been to add an internet shortcut to my Windows Explorer files.
I have been told that it was removed because of problems on the backend with InDesign, but if that were the case, then I would have also been able to access that direct link in CC Desktop for files shared from Photoshop or Illustrator. It's bad…
