Supervisor
Supervisor feedback without the email chains
Feedback scattered across emails, margin notes, and half-remembered meetings is how good advice gets lost. Give your supervisor one read-only link to your roadmap and drafted chapters. They comment right where it matters; you get an instant email and a pending/resolved tracker, so every piece of feedback is visible until it is handled.
What Supervisor does
One read-only link, no account for them
Mint a private link your supervisor opens in any browser: your live roadmap progress and drafted chapters, read-only. No signup, no password, no software to install on their side.
Comments land exactly where they belong
Your draft appears in final-report order (front matter, chapters, references), and your supervisor can comment on any section with content, or leave a general comment on the project overall. Their name is remembered after the first comment.
An instant email for every comment
The moment a comment is posted you get an email: who wrote it, which section it is on (or that it is general), the full text, and a button that lands you on the Supervisor hub ready to act.
Pending or resolved: nothing falls through
Every comment carries a status. Work through the pending list, mark each resolved as you address it, reopen any that need another pass, and filter by All, Pending, or Resolved. Your supervisor sees the resolution state on their link too, so the loop closes visibly.
Offline review, without losing the thread
Your supervisor can download the draft as a Word document or PDF, mark it up offline, and paste comments back into the exact sections they concern: the thread in CiteDash stays the single record.
You stay in control of the link
Rotate mints a fresh URL and breaks the old one; Revoke turns sharing off entirely. Sharing is a decision you can reverse at any time, per project.
Read-only by design
The supervisor link can never edit your work: it shows progress and drafts, and accepts comments. Everything else (resolving feedback, revising chapters, compiling the thesis) stays on your side of the workspace, and the whole exchange is recorded in the project’s activity trail.
Supervisor sharing questions
How do I share my thesis draft with my supervisor?
Mint a read-only link from your project and send it. Your supervisor opens it in any browser and sees your live roadmap progress and drafted chapters in final-report order. There is no export to email around and no version to keep in sync, because the link always shows the real current state of the work.
Does my supervisor need a CiteDash account?
No. No signup, no password, no software to install on their side. They open a URL and can read and comment immediately.
Can my supervisor edit or change my work?
No, the link is read-only by construction rather than by permission setting. It shows progress and drafts and accepts comments. Resolving feedback, revising chapters and compiling all stay on your side of the workspace.
How do I keep track of what my supervisor asked for?
Every comment is a tracked item with a status, pinned either to a specific section or to the project overall. You work the pending list and mark items resolved as you address them, reopening any that need another pass. Your supervisor sees the resolution state on their link too, so the loop visibly closes instead of dissolving into an email thread.
Can my supervisor review offline?
Yes. They can download the draft as Word or PDF, mark it up however they like, and paste comments back into the sections they concern. The thread in CiteDash stays the single record of what was asked and what was done.
Can I stop sharing later?
At any time, per project. Rotating mints a fresh URL and breaks the old one, and revoking turns sharing off entirely. Sharing is a decision you can always reverse.
Works with
Supervisor is the feedback loop of the 17 connected tools (it shares the drafts the Thesis Editor wrote and the progress the Roadmap tracks), so what your supervisor sees is always the real state of the work.
