Unlock feature

In order to request feedback, it is necessary for the author to belong to a group. This group must be created by an administrator of WebMiau.

Get Feedback from an author

Each tex file has a new entry "Get Feedback From" in the context menu. The second menu level contains all groups in which you are entered as an author. The third menu level contains the respective group members, from which you select one to look at your file.

If you are looking for an author who is not in your group, you can also request feedback via email address. However, the email address must be the one used for WebMiau access.

Assign an optional title

After you have selected an author, a dialog opens in which you can still assign an optional short title. Submit your feedback request with the "Request Feedback" button.

Notification

At the moment, the reviewer is not notified by email. The email notification will be added later. After reloading WebMiau, the reviewer will see a red number at the top of the toolbar indicating how many reviews are open.

View reviews

To see all reviews with participation click on the icon

A dialog will open where you can see all the open reviews that you created or whose reviewer you are. Besides the open reviews, there is also a tab with already closed reviews. You can also open these reviews again.

Click on one of these entries and a new part of WebMiau will be displayed.
