Starting a review

Starting a review simply means formally starting it and inviting people to take part.

Once you have selected the reviewers, the next stage is to notify the reviewers and the author (if different to the moderator) that they can start reviewing. The review has been in 'Draft' state until this point. Only the moderator has the permission to start a review.

To start the review:

  • If you are the moderator of the review, click Start Review.
  • If you are not the moderator of your review, click Send to Moderator. This changes the state to 'Requires Approval' and notifies the moderator. The moderator can change any aspect of the review before starting it.

Once the review has been started, the review state becomes 'Under Review'.

(info) Note that only people with the 'Approve' permission can start a review.

Editing a review once started

You can quickly add files to, or remove files from, the content of a review at any time:

  • Add files to a review by clicking the 'Add content' button.
  • Remove files by clicking the 'Edit' button in the left navigation panel, then clicking the red cross icons beside files to be removed.  

You can edit all the details of a review, including the content, by clicking Edit Details near the top right of the review.
