# Beta readers

> Send beta readers a link to a frozen version of your book, collect comments on the exact paragraph, reply and resolve, and revoke the link.

A **reader link** opens a frozen version of the book without signing in.

## Make a link

Choose a version (or let Author save one now), the chapters to include (all by default), a mode (**comment** or **read**), a label for who it is for, and optionally a number of days until it expires. The address looks like `/r/<token>` and is **shown once**. Copy it then.

## What a reader does

A reader selects words and comments, adding their name. They do not need an account, and they see only the frozen version and only the chapters you chose.

## What you do

- Read the comments as **threads**, with the quote, the reader's name and the scene.
- **Reply**: the reader sees your reply under their comment.
- **Resolve** a comment, or reopen it.
- **Delete** a comment.
- **Revoke** the link when the round is over.

## Working with versions

Make a new link for each round, then compare the versions behind them in [Versions and diffs](/docs/versions-and-diffs/).

## Plans

Beta readers are part of every plan.
