Troubleshooting tips

If an attachment doesn’t display on screen when clicked, there are two possible reasons why.

  • When the reviewer was adding the attachment the browser/tab was closed before it had finished attaching. A message is presented that says changes may be lost if you continue to close the browser, however the reviewer may have still chosen to close their browser/tab.

  • Or, the file they attached to the comment was corrupt in some way.

Reach out to your reviewer and ask them to attach the file again to the comment – you can do this by replying to their comment (even @mention them as well if you like – this will send them an email asking them to look at the reply).
