Adobe Document Cloud
During the summer of 2015, I had the pleasure of working with the Adobe Document Cloud Experience Design Team. I worked on adding a collaborative space within the Commenting tool in Acrobat.
Creating a collaborative workspace
Using the Document Cloud, users could share a PDF document with others with the new tool, Collaborative Review. Based on internal user research there were several problems our users wanted this new tool to solve:
- Choose a document they wanted to share
- Add a deadline for reviewing the document
- Added reminders
- Users can set a time a date to send out reminders
- Security for the document
- Added a sign-in only or anyone can view and share this document.
New commenting tools
With the addition of Collaborative PDFs new commenting tools were added to streamline the review process.
- Users wanted to be able to see who was currently reading/commenting on the document
- Chat implementation to answer quick questions.
- Priority of the change
- Assigning a task to a specific person
- Approval of the final document
DAshboard
To keep track of changes and documents we designed a dashboard system. Sections of the dashboard and move and be deleted so the user can personalize their own dashboard.
