Reviewing Documents Shared into Your Community

As a community owner, when your suppliers share documents to your Connect Community you are responsible for reviewing and approving them. If everything is complete and accurate, you can mark as approved, otherwise you can request that they make changes to correct or complete missing information. The supplier will receive notifications regarding your request so that they can take necessary action.

Steps to Review

1. Select Documents from the left sidebar
2. Select the Documents Shared With Me tab if not initially selected
3. Click on the document row to be reviewed
