Project Owners and Managers have the ability to decide whether Reviewers can download assets from a project, see previous round comments, and upload the first version of a new asset.
Download Permissions (All Plans)
When enabling download permissions in a project, any user with a Reviewer role will be able to download assets, all rounds, folders and full project.
By disabling download permissions you can:
✅ Protect Work-in-Progress: Keep early rounds or unapproved assets from being downloaded.
✅ Control Final Deliverables: Allow downloads only when assets are ready to share.
First-Round (R0) Upload Permission (All Plans)
🔜 Available Aug 3, 2026.
When enabled, Reviewers can upload the first version of a new asset, useful when a client or photographer needs to hand off raw files without an Editor seat. Once that first round exists, all subsequent rounds remain Editor-only, this permission does not let Reviewers upload revisions.
✅ Faster handoff: clients and photographers can drop off raw files themselves.
✅ No extra seat needed: this works entirely within the free Reviewer role.
Hide Comments Permissions (Studio Plan Only)
When turning ON (enabling) Hide Comments in a project, any user with a Reviewer role won't be able to see past round comments.
Only current round comments will be visible.
Enabling these permissions will hide thumbnail notifications and related filters for unresolved comments and @ mentions for Reviewer roles.
✅ Curate client view: Keep internal feedback and rough passes hidden when sharing the latest work.
✅ Stay focused on current round: Reviewers see what's relevant now, not every iteration that came before.
✅ Same asset, simpler thread: Keep versioning clean without duplicating files for each round.
Where to Manage Reviewer Permissions
Option 1: From the Share Modal
Click the "Share Project" button in the project (top right).
In the Share Link section click "Customize"
Option 2: From Project Settings
Click the 3-dot menu next to the Share button
Select "Project Settings"
Go to the Permissions tab
Keep in mind:
By default, Reviewers can download and see all rounds comments, but cannot upload, even the first round, until a Project Owner or Manager enables it.
This applies to people with the Reviewer role either invited via link or email.
