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.
