While reviewers won't get an email notifying them that a new version of your project was uploaded to Review 360, they can choose one of these settings for notifications:
Your Activity triggers email notifications when someone replies to your comments or @mentions you. This is the default setting for all reviewers except the project owner.
All Activity triggers email notifications for all comments and replies on this project. This is the default setting for the project owner.
Why is this the default? What developer thought, "People love multiple notifications filling up their inbox when they could just go to a page and see them all at once with context?" Also, what developer thought, "Why don't we make every reviewer have to get an account and set up end user settings - people love having to learn another app and get into settings when really they are just trying to respond to content. SMEs also want to be an expert at the articulate review app in their free time. I cannot believe how many years this issue has gone unresolved given even today's research to fix this issue for my reviewers. This is a huge disappointment to learn about Articulate, an app that I have so highly recommended others to learn. Why hasn't this default issue been corrected? I truly hope I have missed discovering the update vs. this is still a huge imposition to developer and reviewer relationship. This is costing more than the software.
Reviewers do not need to set up an account to access a review and make comments. What I would like to see is the ability that those sent the link to the review do get notified that a new version has been published. Maybe a checkbox beside the entry when adding a users email to say "Notify this user when new versions are published". Defeats the purpose of that system where I then have to send emails to the reviewers to inform then that a new version is available to review. Also, instead of receiving an email notification for every review comment, maybe add the option to send 1 email with all of the comments made by a user?
