Web Review Enhancements

This documentation page references NEXUS Server (part of the deployed NEXUS solution), which has been discontinued. All your PCB design, data management and collaboration needs can now be delivered by Altium Designer and a connected Altium 365 Workspace. Check out the FAQs page for more information.

Altium NEXUS 1.1, in conjunction with Altium NEXUS Server 1.1, bring some powerful enhancements to the Web Review arena. Firstly, you no longer have to worry about adding and configuring a WebReview Output Job as part of the release of a managed project - it's all handled for you, automatically by the system. Release your project and enjoy the fruits of the Web Review feature. You can also now start a Web Review session for any released revision, of any managed project, directly from the NEXUS Server's browser interface. This cements the use of this powerful, browser-based collaboration feature, putting access literally at your fingertips - true on-demand reviewing. And when you're in a Web Review session, why not check out the new support for a Light Theme.

Web Review On Demand

Access to this new functionality is provided from the detailed view for a managed project - which is accessed from the main Projects page of the NEXUS Server's browser interface by either clicking the Open control () associated with that project, or clicking on its name. Once there, access the Releases tab, select the specific revision of the project, on the left, then click the  control, to the far right of the tab. A new browser tab will open, presenting the Web Review instance.
