Review a recorded presentation

You can take recorded presentations located on your Mediasite through an iterative content approval (review-edit-approve) workflow before making them available to an audience. When a presentation is under review (pending changes or approval), the version containing the changes is offline. Offline presentations do not appear in search results or catalogs for users with only View permissions.

Note

Your Mediasite administrators must enable the review-edit-approve workflow on your system before you can use the features described here. They must also specify approvers who can approve and deny presentation updates.

Review-edit-approve status

The three states in the review workflow are as follows.
