One of the great many features of Q4 PRESS is the ability to easily view and merge document changes from multiple people through a simple interface. As an Author, you have the ability to view all the pending document feedback in your task list.
After you have completed working with a Reviewers changes by clicking “I’m finished with this item” you can still go back and view the Reviewers notes or edits. The default view is to show only unhandled edits and feedback when you are viewing a document:

You’ll notice there is a ’show removed’ check-box at the bottom of your task list. If you want to check a previous edit or comment from a Reviewer, simply click that check-box and you’ll see all edits and comments for the current phase:

The green check-mark on the item in your task list shows that you’ve already finished working with those changes but you still have access to view those previous changes and can incorporate them into your document.
As you can see by the lack of recent posts, we’ve been head down working hard executing on the great client feedback we received during the Q4 PRESS beta trial through the month of December 2007.
In January we officially, albeit quietly, launched Q4 PRESS 1.0 and the whole team at Q4 is very proud of all the hard work and late nights that happened during the last 8 - 10 months.
The greatest piece of feedback we received from clients during the BETA is that they wanted the ability to quickly and easily invite co-workers to collaborate on documents. For the folks who have used Q4 PRESS already, you’ll notice a new fancy splash screen after you login that gives you the ability to quickly and easily invite other people to begin collaborating on press releases and other regulatory documents.
We also added a new Supervisor role. The Supervisor has additional rights not available in other roles such as:
- Ability to view all users who are involved in each press release
- Ability to view all press releases in any state (finalized, in progress, canceled)
- Ability to destroy a finalized or canceled press release
- Instant notification when a new press release is started
We will be posting more details surrounding this new role as well as a whole host of other features that have been added.
We thank everyone who contributed to the launch of Q4 PRESS and we’re looking forward to the future!
