"Share for Review" lost for documents accessed via UNC paths
Indesign 16.2.1 won't maintain the link between the indesign document (on a server) and the "Shared for Review" online file if the Indesign document was opened via a UNC path when you make the "share for review" link.

It takes forever to update the link for review.
When I go the Share for Review menu and try to update the link, it starts to "think" and nothing else happens. It lasts for more than 10 minutes and I just give up. Indesign version 16.1

Working Together with Other Designers
I work in a team of 4 designers, and on occasion we have to cover for each other and finish/amend something someone else has started. We can share for review with other departments to add their amendments fine, however if someone else opens the .indd file on our shared server they can't see the comments. Is there not a way to make the comments save to the document itself instead of the account?

InDesign Review Feature
My coworker and I are both suddenly facing major problems with the review functionality with Adobe InDesign 16.1 (Windows). This has only been occurring for about 10 days. When the review function actually works instead of an error or just loading nonstop (only works 30% of the time now), the links often don't work in the end for other viewers to review and show up as an error. Now, when this works, the comments from the review link are not showing up where they were placed, and when we go in to implement them manually in InDesign from the weblink,…

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 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.—

share for review
Last summer we encountered an issue working with the [Share InDesign documents for review] feature. After transferring Indesign documents between colleagues for holidays, it turned out that this function does not work when InDesign documents are processed on other devices. Not even within our license.
Indesign claims (attachment transcribed from Dutch):
No access for review. You cannot create or update a review share since you a not the owner of the review. Please save this as a new document to create your own review.Easy to write, but we do not want to bother our customers (stakeholders) by sending them…

Share for Review does not update
Share for Review creates a link but does not update content.
Reproducing:
- File created in InDesign 2024, Share for Review link created. Updating the content often showed a red "There was an error updating the artifact" error but would still update content in the link
- File opened in InDesign 2025, where it was converted to a 2025 file. Comments from previous version carried over in "Review" panel
- Clicking "Update Content" in Share for Review causes long loading icon. Once completed, it showed no red error, but the link did not update content. Upon third or fourth try,…1 vote -
Adobe Review: automatic adoption of text suggestions and incorrect filter behavior
When I receive comments on replacing text or deleting text sections via Adobe Review and these are displayed in Adobe InDesign 20.0, the display switches to comments with the status clarified. After each correction, which cannot be accepted with approval but must be made manually, I have to set the filter in the control panel back to unresolved comments to work on.
It would be desirable for a filter to only be set in the control panel when I activate it. I would also like options for inserting, replacing or deleting text to be applied with a click and not…1 vote -
Comments in a review are stripped after I upgraded to the latest version of InDesign
Today I updated InDesign to the latest version (20.0, Windows). A client had left some comments in an online review initiated through the previous version, and now those comments are all stripped from the document when I open it in v20.0.

review search
When sharing a review: On the review web page, there is no longer a possibility to search for text. This makes reviewing long documents with many pages nearly impossible. Reviewers have to manually go through all the pages to find the content that's relevant.
Until around mid-2024, it was possible to use the browser's search function (CTRL+F). This has been disabled. Even if enforced (entering search through the browser's menu), it does not work.
To me, having no possibility to search for text in a document that should be reviewed, sounds like a severe, obvious oversight and should be addressed…

Share for Review strikethrough & replace text from online edits aren't visible in InDesign or online viewer
Strikethrough & replace text from online comments aren't visible in InDesign or online. the comments are visible although the visual mark up on the page is missing. Ive tested mutliple browsers and all the same.
Highlighting and draw tool are working correctly.
Indesign version 19.5. Chrome and Edge browsers.
This was working as of a couple weeks ago, now is not.
