About the Review and Approve Feature
The Review and Approve feature works in conjunction with the Status metadata field.
When an asset is ready for review, you can easily change the asset’s Status metadata
field to Ready for Review, add editorial comments, and send a notification email to
required reviewers from within the Final Cut Server client. Using the information in the
email, the reviewers can find, view, annotate, and approve assets without having to
download large files.
