Direct sharing hands a review to specific people on your project — a one-off, person-to-person share, separate from the step-by-step [automated workflows](https://help.sohonet.com/en/articles/742862-automated-workflows) route. Sharing is tied to your role: Creative Reviewers, Curators and Workspace Managers can share a review; Viewers can watch but not pass reviews on.

You can start a share from a few places:

- In the **Screening Room**, open the **more options menu** on the review's card and choose **Share**.
- In the **player**, open the **more options menu** in the header and choose **Share Review**.
- In **All Reviews**, use the **Share** button on the review's row.
- In the **review drawer**, use the **Share** button.

From there:

1. Search for people by name or email and select them. The search only returns users who already have access to the project — if someone doesn't show up, they likely don't have access yet.
2. Click **Share**.

The review reaches each recipient right across the app — it shows up in **All Reviews**, in their **Screening Room**, and in their **Focus** — surfaced most prominently as **New** in the Screening Room and the Focus queue.

You can only share with people who are already on your project. When a review is shared, your production's security policies — including DRM and watermarking — apply to everyone who receives it.

## What you can't share yet

- **Drafts.** A draft stays private to its creator until it's [published](https://help.sohonet.com/en/articles/742878-create-a-review-in-the-rush-portal#h_20d1d31760) — the **Share** button stays disabled until then.
- **From the Portal.** Contributors submitting content through the Rush Portal don't have direct sharing available to them.

**Coming Soon:** Both of these are changing - drafts will become shareable, and direct sharing will open up to Portal contributors.
