    Hi @karlapati Rajesh ,

    Open in Review Mode is only available for Word files in SharePoint/OneDrive in Web UI.

    Currently using Graph REST API sharing link with review mode is not available.

    You can request a feature which will be monitored by Microsoft product team and based on number of votes and people requesting for this feature will be taken up by product team.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @karlapati Rajesh ,
    I aggree with rinivasaRaoDarnaMSFT-7657's opinion that Review Mode is only available for Web UI. And I feel regretful to inform you that it turns out to be a by-design one.

    And I noticed that some end users have also proposed the same request, it is highly recommended that you can vote this ticket. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future. Thanks for your understanding.
