Abstract
The present invention is directed to collaborative document review. In one embodiment, the method includes creating a review version of an original document and storing the review document in a location that is simultaneously accessible by more than one reviewer, where each reviewer might be in a different location. Each reviewer is able to review at least one section of the review document and annotate, or comment on, the selected section of the review document. Once the annotation is created, the annotation can be posted and be immediately visible to each reviewer. Each reviewer can also provide further comment on any annotation. Annotations made in an earlier version of the review document can be retained and carried over into subsequent versions of the review document.
