            • Review a Contract Document in Non-Private External Review Mode
              After the contract author sends the contract for external review, reviewers open the document, make tracked changes and comments, and mark their review as complete. The review status updates in Salesforce, where the contract author checks review status and check the document back in when all reviewers complete their review.
