Issuing a review in Crucible is known as approving the review. This simply means formally starting the review 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 approve a review.

To issue the review:

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

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