Reviewing and approving design resources

Reviewers are responsible for reviewing all resources assigned to them by the author; approvers are responsible for approving or rejecting the resources. Reviewers and approvers must complete their reviews by the due date specified in the review.

About this task

You can use the My Work tab on the Reviews widget to start the review and approval process of a resource. The My Work tab lists the resources you are assigned to review and approve, your participant role, the status of your work, as well as any specific instructions that are associated with the resources. As you review a resource, you can provide comments to the resources you access; when you are done, you can submit your feedback to the author of the review. If you are a reviewer, the resource status could be Reviewed - no comments or Reviewed - see comments). If you are an approver, the options are Approved or Rejected. When you submit your feedback, the tab is refreshed and shows the progress of your review work. To make it easier to understand the possible dependencies between the resources under review, you can use the Focus in Explorer command to show the resources under review in the Explorer view.
