    • Require electronic signatures from approvers — When selected, all approvers must sign the review in order for it to be approved.

    • Enable signature group for approvers — Your review signatures have a particular signer role. See Electronic signatures.

  2. Select settings for permissions.

    • Allow for review comments to also appear in the single item view within a project — This option only appears if was enabled by an admin in the Review Center settings.

    • Make public — The review is visible beyond the invited participants. An organization admin determines whether public reviews are seen by anyone with access to reviews, or only by those with permission to ALL items in a review.

    • Let approvers add reviewers and approvers — Allow participants to add others to the review.

    • Let approvers delegate their review to others — Allow the approver role to be delegated. If an approver is assigned a signer role and they delegate their approver role, the signer role is also delegated.
