Premium plugin
Review is not included in the standard Redactor package. It ships as part of the Editorial Suite — purchase the suite on the pricing page (with Redactor, or later from your account), then download the package and enable the review plugin.
Review adds comments on blocks or on the whole document, with separate roles for reviewers and authors. Feedback stays attached to the content via block ids.
Reviewers leave comments. Authors resolve or reopen them. Optional flows can require reviewer approval before a thread is fully closed. Combine with Versions when you also need document snapshots.
Content with an open comment from a reviewer on a selected block.
The same comment in edit mode for the reviewer — Save and Delete are available, so the reviewer can change or remove the note.
The same thread as seen by the author. The author can edit the highlighted content based on the feedback and use Resolve when the change is done.
A resolved comment for the author. Reopen is available if more edits are needed. Tabs show the original text the comment referred to and the resolved version.
The same resolved comment as seen by the reviewer. Tabs again show original and resolved text; the reviewer can Accept the author’s changes. You can also configure the editor to accept automatically after the author resolves, without a separate reviewer approval step.
Options, roles, and events: Review plugin.
Main features#
Comments on blocks or the document. Select a block (or the whole piece) and add a comment. Stable block ids keep the thread linked to that place after edits.
Reviewer and author roles. Reviewers create and discuss; authors resolve. Set role per session so the same plugin covers both sides.
Open, resolved, reopen. Threads move through a simple status model — open while work is pending, resolved when done, reopen if something still needs attention.
When it helps#
Use Review when feedback should live on the draft itself — newsrooms, agencies, compliance checks, or any handoff where comments in email or chat are easy to lose. Pair with Versions to keep snapshots of the document, or with AI Assistant when automated suggestions sit next to human comments.
