Viewers unable to change video Status

John O'Brien
The stakeholders we share Replay projects with are able to view and comment on videos, but they cannot change the Status of videos; the Status pulldown does not even appear in their Replay UI. It would be good if Replay viewers could at least select "Edits Requested" or "Approved" for a video from the Status pulldown. (But leave the "Needs Review" and "In Progress" status as options only available to the editors/Dropbox users.)

Hey John O'Brien! I just tried on my end and things seem to be working. Reviewers should be able to change the status if they have a "view and comment" share link.
But reviewers do have to be logged in to change the status. Can you confirm if you reviewers are logged in or not?

Brian - Dropbox Engineer Many/most of our reviewers do not have a Dropbox account, nor want one. So that is my ask: allow viewers who have been shared a link to a Replay video to be able to change status w/o needing to log in with a dropbox account. Thank you.

Luther Cyrus Brown (Biglb2024) The people we share the Replay videos with cannot change their Status. It would be nice if the producers who can approve the videos could actually, you know, select APPROVE or EDITS REQUESTED from a pulldown to notify the editors.
But apparently only the Replay licensees— our video editors in this case— have access to the Status pulldown. Non-licensees can only leave comments on a video.
