How can authors see reviewer comments on their submissions in Dryfta?
Last updated Jul 18, 2026
Question
Once abstracts are accepted or rejected, authors sometimes cannot see the reviewers' comments. How can an admin enable authors to view the author comments from reviewers in Dryfta?
Answer
To enable authors to see reviewers' comments on their submissions, an admin should go to the Submission Settings in the Dryfta administrator dashboard. At the bottom of the Submission Settings page, there is an option labeled 'Display reviews to authors'. You can select one of the following options based on your preference:
- 'Only for accepted abstracts': Authors will see review comments only if their abstract is accepted.
- 'All abstracts': Authors can see review comments for all submissions regardless of acceptance.
After selecting the desired option, save the settings. This will control the visibility of reviewer comments to authors accordingly.
