Reviewers can review the task's changes submitted by the authors on the Review Changes Page where the individual changes are listed.
Each listed individual change can be either approved or rejected by the reviewer. Clicking on a row in the Review column invokes a dialog where the status of the particular change can be set to Rejected
or Approved
.
Changes can also be approved or rejected in a bulk manner using the checkboxes in front of the changed items and then pressing Accept Selection
or Reject Selection
buttons.
The checkboxes appear regardless of the status of the task, but only for the user who is assigned as reviewer.
The content of the table can be filtered based on the approval status and the change type of the individual items by selecting the filter icon from the editor's toolbar. The different filter types can be mixed, i.e. it is possible to select a filter for the approval status together with a change type.
Changes without approval or rejection specified are considered to be approved by default.
The Review Page is limited to reveal a maximum of 50 000 changes. After performing numerous changes on a Task the page might not contain all the changes.
Once the individual components are reviewed, the reviewer can save and submit the results by clicking on the button located on the top-right side of the task editor. The button brings up the Task Review Dialog where the reviewer can decide on how to proceed within the task workflow:
Approve
- the changes submitted are complete (even with optionally rejected individual changes), no further authoring needed
Request Changes
- the changes submitted are incomplete and require further authoring
If there were individual items marked as rejected during the reviewing stage, the user is prompted with the possibility of creating a new task from the rejected items. This way rejected items can be further authored under a newly generated task that will have the same properties as the original one.
The original task's status will be set to Closed
.
Once each reviewer assigned to the task has submitted their review, the workflow can proceed based on the results of the reviewers. If every reviewer has accepted the changes, the reviews can be acknowledged and the task content can be prepared for promotion by clicking on the button visible on the Task Editor's Overview Page. In case even one of the reviews has requested changes, the only option available is button to complete the requested changes.
After a task is verified, the content can be promoted by the reviewer by pressing the button located on the Task Editor.
