5. To share with a Reviewer, click the Request Comments button

   

6. A window will pop up asking you to select the areas where you'd like to receive feedback. If you do not see a pop-up window, check your pop-up blocker settings. See: Enabling Pop-up Windows in Taskstream. Click Continue on either the top or bottom.
