Understanding content repositories and review zones

Review templates, review documents, supporting documents, and review artifacts are stored in a repository on the LiveCycle server. The review zone is provided by a review zone provider. The review zone provider is a component of the Review, Commenting, and Approval building block. The review zone provider uses LiveCycle Content Services 9, which is required to use the Managed Review & Approval Solution Accelerator and the Review, Commenting, and Approval building block functions. However, you can configure the review zone provider to use other repositories that exist in an IT infrastructure. Permissions required to access and use Content Services are configured in Adobe User Management.

The review document and comments are accessed by review participants using the Acrobat Shared Review feature available in Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Acrobat Shared Review connects to the review zone using WebDAV. Users must be configured with the proper user roles to participate in reviews, which are configured in Adobe User Management. (See Review and approval personas and user roles .)

If your organization has an enterprise content management system available, you can use it as a content repository if it supports WebDAV, CIFS, or network share. (See User story for archiving reviews .)
