How to Set Up Abstract Review Settings for Reviewer Comments and Submission Feedback
Last updated Jul 18, 2026
Question
How do I set up the review settings for abstracts in Dryfta so that reviewers can insert comments for revision and have that information sent directly to the submitter, without allowing the submitter to reply to the reviewer?
Answer
To set up the abstract review settings to allow reviewers to insert comments that are sent to submitters without allowing submitters to reply directly to reviewers, follow these steps:
1. Enable the "Rebuttal Settings" option in the abstract review settings. This feature allows reviewers to provide comments for revision.
2. To control submitter feedback, keep the "Auto-approve feedback" option disabled. While submitters can reply to reviewers' comments, their responses will not be sent to reviewers unless approved by an administrator.
This setup enables reviewers to communicate their revision comments to submitters while preventing submitters from directly responding to reviewers without oversight. Make sure to review these settings under the abstract review configuration section in your event admin panel.
