Oxygen Content Fusion Connector

This add-on allows you to upload tasks that contain documents to be reviewed on the Oxygen Content Fusion collaboration platform. Reviewers can then login to Oxygen Content Fusion to review, add comments, or contribute changes to the uploaded documents. You also have access to a Merge tool that allows you to automatically merge the changes back into Oxygen.

After installing the add-on, a new toolbar button (Show Content Fusion Tasks Manager View) will be available and clicking that button displays the Content Fusion Tasks Manager view where you can create the tasks to be uploaded to Oxygen Content Fusion.

  3. A "Close review" action was added in the contextual menu of the Content Fusion Task Manager view that allows users to block the review for a task.

This option is present in the upload panel and if enabled it uploads files that are directly referenced from the files to be reviewed.
