Using the Review, Commenting, and Approval building block

After you install the Managed Review & Approval Solution Accelerator, basic Review, Commenting, and Approval building block functions are available if the required LiveCycle modules are installed. Optional modules permit you to use the extended functions provide by the building block.

After you complete your installation, configure your development environment. (See Developer environment requirements .) When you are ready to test your solution, create a test or end-user environment. (See Testing and end-user environments .)

Before you start to use the building block, ensure that you import a Reader Extensions credential and configure email settings as described in the Managed Review & Approval Solution Accelerator post-installation tasks. (See Installing and Deploying Solution Accelerators .)

To test solutions that you create, ensure that you configure users with email addresses as well as building block user roles. You can configure roles after you install and deploy the Managed Review & Approval Solution Accelerator. (See Building block roles .)
