I've built up a little collection of chapter versions (six for chapter one) and would like to view the reviews from all of the previous versions. Do I have to make them active to see the reviews, or is there another way?
Thanks
Dirk
Hey Norm,
I just looked at The Galaxy Tales - Into the Mind of God v3 and see there are four versions of chapter one posted. I was able to look at the different reviews for each one. I just had to select each one individually to read the comments. Regards, Randy
Thanks, Randy. That's because they're currently active. I was hoping to see my reviews without leaving them active (minimizes confusion).
Thanks.
Sorry,, I guess I didn't understand. How do you make them inactive?
It's under the Publish step in the Edit Wizard.
I just checked an inactive novel and my reviews are there. Go to your portfolio and click on your work and then click on "view" from the menu. Works for me, but then I could be special, lol. Take care. Vern
You're definitely special, Vern. ;-)
I tried what you said. Only the active chapters show up on the view screen. The inactive ones are not visible from there. I decided my readers can wade through the active versions for a while until I'm done with the reviews. In other words, screw the reader. :-) They'll figure it out.
Thanks for the suggestions.

When you're ready for active reviews let me know and I'll start again (I reviewed two of the chapter one versions already)

You must have some kind of glitch. I just checked again with several different inactive items, novel and short story, and they all show my reviews. Good luck. Take care. Vern
Hi Vern. I totally understand the frustration getting around the site sometimes. And I'm sorry I didn't get in here sooner. I had the same issues and finally figured it out. Here's what I do. First, go to your portfolio (upper right hand button) you see your works listed under two tabs, click on the one that says 'Statistics'. You will see a little green + beside each work which contains chapters. Click on the green+ of the book you want to check to see the inactive chapters. You will see all the chapters pop up below. The number of regular reviews and inline reviews are in the last two columns of each chapter. You can click on those numbers to see the list of reviews given for that chapter. If (like I had) you didn't change any of your chapter names when you published the newer version, you may have trouble figuring out which is which, but the first title of each similar chapter is usually the inactive one. It would be a little easier if each of these was tagged with either 'active' or 'inactive'. Anyway - I hope you find your lost reviews this way.

Hi MzP, Thanks for posting this. I'll put this info aside for future reference. Regards, Randy
Thank you, Mrs. Piddles. Very handy. Too bad we (as authors) can't select from our inactive chapters when on the chapter view screen. That should be the default.
Thanks again.
Dirk

Hi, Mrs P, thanks for coming in, but it was Norm needing the help. As I was telling him, I've had no trouble finding the inactive chapter reviews much as you describe. Thanks for verifying I'm not hallucinating, lol. Take care. Vern
I think I finally found what Vern is talking about. Choose Portfolio-> Edit-> Content. It lists all the active and inactive content is one pace.
Thanks all.
Dirk
