How to allow people to post editor-only comments

When posting comments on a file in a Replay project, you have the option to add public or editor-only comments if the person who created the project has the Replay Add-On. Editor-only comments can only be added and viewed by the project owner or someone who’s been added to that specific project as an editor.

To give people edit access to a project:

  1. Log in to replay.dropbox.com.
  2. Hover over the thumbnail or row of the project you’d like to add people to.
  3. Click “” (ellipsis) in the top-right.
  4. Select Add people from the menu.
  5. Enter the email of the people you’d like to add.
  6. Add a message, if you’d like.
  7. Choose Can edit.
  8. Click Add.

The people you added will receive an email invitation to open your project.

Note: Editor-only comments can only be added to projects created by someone with a Replay Add-On, but editors don’t need to have an add-on to leave or review editor-only comments.
