Tools like Frame.io and TechSmith Review exist specifically for this — but they're separate subscriptions on top of your editing tools. [Riverside](https://cotovan.com/riverside) now has this built in. The new **Share for Review** feature lets you send a review link directly from your editor. Your client watches the video, leaves timestamped comments, and you see them right inside your edit — no exports, no downloads, no extra tools. ## How to Generate a Review Link Open your edit in Riverside and click the **Share** button in the top-right corner. You'll see a new option: **Share for Review**. ![Riverside Share panel showing the Share for Review option highlighted](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/02/riverside-share-for-review-panel-1.jpg) The Share for Review option appears under the Share button — click it to generate a unique review link Click it, and Riverside generates a unique link automatically. This link: - Doesn't require your client to log in - Doesn't require any downloads - Updates in real time as you make changes to your edit - Is secret, nobody can guess it Copy the link and send it to your client via email, Slack, or however you communicate. ## What Your Client Sees When your client opens the link, they get a clean, simplified version of the Riverside editor. They can see the transcript and the video preview, but without the editing tools, timeline, or sidebar — they can't accidentally change anything. ![Riverside client review view showing transcript and video without editing tools](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/02/riverside-client-review-view.jpg) The reviewer's view — they see the transcript and video but can't make edits ## How Clients Leave Feedback To leave a comment, your client simply selects a portion of the transcript text and clicks the **Comment** button (or presses **Option + C** / **Alt + C**). The first time they comment, they'll be asked for a name and email — just so you know who's leaving feedback. ![Comment popup in Riverside review view showing timestamped feedback being written](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/02/riverside-review-comment-popup-1.jpg) Comments are tied to specific timestamps — your client can point to exact moments in the edit Each comment is anchored to a specific time range in the transcript, so there's no ambiguity about which section the feedback refers to. ## Reviewing Feedback in Your Editor Back in your editor, reload the page and the comments appear directly in your workspace. Each one shows: - The **exact text selection** highlighted in yellow - The **timestamp range** the comment refers to - **Comment markers** on the timeline at the precise moment - A **reply field** so you can discuss feedback with your client (use @ to mention them) - A **Mark as resolved** button to track what you've addressed ![Riverside editor showing comment thread with highlighted text selection and Mark as resolved button](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/02/riverside-comment-thread-editor-1.jpg) Comments land right in your editor — highlighted text, timestamps, and a reply thread for discussion Click any comment marker on the timeline and it jumps to that exact spot in your edit. No hunting through email threads or separate documents. ## Multiple Reviewers You can send the same link to multiple people. Each reviewer gets their own session — they provide their name when commenting, and each person's comments appear with a distinct color and label on the timeline. Reviewers can also see each other's comments, which helps avoid duplicate feedback. ![Riverside editor timeline showing multiple colored comment markers from different reviewers](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5b/aa/5baa4306-14e9-442c-8242-49463a36912f/content/images/2026/02/riverside-multiple-reviewers-timeline-1-1.jpg) Multiple reviewers get their own colored markers — easy to tell who said what ## Why This Matters The key advantage is that everything stays inside Riverside. You don't export a file, upload it somewhere else, collect feedback in yet another tool, and then come back to your editor to make changes. The review happens on the same edit you're working in, and changes sync in real time. If you've been paying for separate review platforms like Frame.io or TechSmith Review specifically for client feedback on video and podcast edits, this feature could replace them entirely.
