Document review (except for text-based and image files) is only supported on 64-bit Collaborator servers. On 32-bit platforms, Collaborator may fail to process the documents due to insufficient memory. |
The CollaboratorĀ Visual Studio Extension and Eclipse Plug-in only support reviewing text files and source code. To review other formats, use the Web Client. |
