My comment for @elena-herrera:

I’d frame the question for the author not as in terms of displaying the reviews or not, but as a request for feedback from PREreview community. We can use language to state clearly what the implication of requesting such feedback are so that the author(s) make an inform choice.

The fact that the reviews will be displayed or not is more up to the preprint server admin. @alex Mendonça mentioned that for SciELO they would like to only link/display reviews alongside preprints for which authored have requested that feedback at submission. For @dasapta Erwin Irawan at RINarXiv, the reviews will be linked to /displayed alongside the preprint regardless (which is what we do with bioRxiv/medRxiv right now e.g., https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.04.187583v1, https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.22.20025460v2 with additional badge or tag to signal both on PREreview and on RINarXiv that the authors have solicited for feedback.

We could even think of having a space for the author to ask three questions that they would like some feedback on and have those made available in the template for that review, but this would require more dev on our end (probably parking lot idea).

I pretty much agree with @dasaderi

I’d frame the question for the author not as in terms of displaying the reviews or not, but as a request for feedback from PREreview community (...) for SciELO they would like to only link/display reviews alongside preprints for which authored have requested that feedback at submission

Yes, this is perfect for us.

I have modified the diagram, this one specifies that the author may check an option to request comments from the PREreview community.
