Managing reviews

You can manage your review during its lifecycle by adding participants and resources, changing participant roles, updating existing resources, or resetting the resource status.

Before you begin

To edit a review, you must be the author of the review.

About this task

The Review Overview page contains this information about your review: During a review lifecycle, you can view the progress of participants, including the number of resources each participant has reviewed as well as the status that the participant assigned to each resource. You can add new participants, change participant roles, add new resources, and update existing resources. During an informal review, if a resource becomes out of date, you can reset that resource status, which forces reviewers to start a new review of the resource.
