Help with Syndication and RSS feeds
One of the big advantages to using Approver.com is the ability to get alerts when someone sends you a document to review. Approver.com sends you email when someone invites you to review a document, but as you probably know, email can be unreliable. As a result, it's not always the best way to collaborate.
So, in addition to email alerts, you can also get updates on your Approver.com documents through RSS. RSS is a data format that lets you easily integrate information from a web site into another web site or feed-reader software. Feed readers enable you to easily view information from any Web site, including Approver.com, in one place without having to go back to the web site to check if there's anything new for you. RSS is an ideal way to see if you have new documents to review because it bypasses your email inbox.
To use Approver.com RSS, click on the RSS Feed link on the My Documents page. If you have a browser or feed reader software that understands RSS, your feed will be added to that program.
Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7 both have the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds. There are also a few web-based RSS readers we like. These include:
Some people prefer to read RSS feeds from a program you install on your computer. There are lots of programs that can do this, most of which are free to use.
