How to send and accept Studio invitations

This article applies to:

  • Revu 20
  • Revu 21

If you’ve upgraded from Revu 2018 or 2019 to Revu 20 or above, you might notice some improvements to Studio. This article covers the updated Studio experience in the latest versions of Revu. Are you a new Revu user? See the Help Guide for a comprehensive look at Studio.

Quickly send invitations by entering multiple emails

In Revu 20 and above, you can send Studio Session and Project invitations by entering multiple email addresses instead of one at a time. Revu allows you to send up to 100 email addresses per batch of Session invitations. Revu includes several input methods for adding email addresses, including:

  • Enter text.
  • Paste a list of email addresses.
  • Add a group.
  • Select specific email addresses from a group.
  • Use Session Settings to invite participants.
You must be a Session or Project host/owner or have full control permissions to send Studio invitations.

After adding a list of email addresses to invite to your Session or Project, you’ll have a chance to review them before you send the invitations. The review screen sorts email addresses by domain name, so it’s easy to see who you’ve invited from specific groups. Finally, you can continue to add email addresses to the list or remove them as needed.

Add multiple attendees to a Studio Project or Session

To send an invitation for your Session or Project:

  1. Go to your Session or Project.
  2. Select Invite.
  3. Select Type or Paste Emails.
    For instructions on other input methods, see the Revu Help Guide.
  4. Type or paste the email addresses of your attendees. Revu removes any extra characters.
  5. Select Check & Include Emails.
  6. If you want to add a personalized message to your invitation:
    1. Select Add Message.
    2. Enter your message.
    3. Select Save Message.
  7. Select Invite Participants.

Use Settings to invite attendees to Sessions or Projects

If you’re already in your Session or Project settings, Revu allows you to invite attendees to your Session or Project from that dialog. You must be a Session or Project host/owner or have full control permissions to send Studio invitations.

When you invite users via Settings, invitees will receive an email invitation to your Session/Project, but – unlike sending invitations to users from the Invite feature – Revu will not inform you that the invitation email was sent.

To send an invitation for your Session or Project:

  1. Go to your Session or Project.
  2. Select    Studio or Project Settings.
  3. If you’re inviting attendees to a Studio Session, select the Attendees tab.
    1. Click the Add button.
    2. Select Apply, then select OK.
  4.  If you’re inviting attendees to a Project, select the User Access tab.
    1. Click the Add button.
    2. Select Apply, then select OK.

Accept Session and Project invitations from the Studio panel

In Revu 2019 and below, a Studio Session or Project was accepted via email invitation only. In Revu 20 and above, you can accept a Session or Project invitation from the email invitation or directly from the Studio panel. New invitations will appear in your Studio panel in real-time, and you can join them whenever you want.

Send invitation reminders to attendees who haven’t joined your Session or Project
