Review Process

Who Reviews Assessments

Only two roles can review:

• Assessment Reviewer — primary reviewer
• Super Admin — can do everything

Review Actions

When viewing an assessment in Under Review status, three actions are available:

1. Approve

Moves the assessment from Under Review → Approved.

The assessment is now ready for an Admin or Super Admin to publish it to the public website.

2. Return with Comment

Moves the assessment from Under Review → Re-Edit.

Mandatory Comment

A comment is required when returning an assessment. The Reviewer must explain what needs to be fixed. This comment is visible to the Editor when they open the assessment for re-editing.

After returning:

• The Editor receives the assessment back in Re-Edit status
• The Editor makes corrections based on the Reviewer’s comments
• The Editor re-submits, moving it back to Under Review
• The cycle can repeat until the Reviewer is satisfied

3. Edit + Approve (Combined)

Allows the Reviewer to make direct edits and approve in one action.

This is useful for:

• Minor typos or formatting issues
• Small data corrections that don’t warrant a full return cycle
• Expediting the review when changes are trivial

What Happens After Approval

Once approved, the assessment sits in Approved status until:

• An Admin publishes it → Published
• A Super Admin publishes it → Published

See Publishing for the next stage.
