Invite Members During Review Creation

Step 1: Sign in to Your Rayyan Account
Log in to your Rayyan account.

Step 2: Create a New Review
Click on the option to create a new review. (Refer to our article on How to Create a Systematic Review in Rayyan for detailed instructions.)

Once everything looks good, click Invite to send out the invitations.

Note:
Ensure you enter accurate email addresses, as users may use personal or official organization addresses.
