Reviews

With reviews on, editors and reviewers can't publish a guide directly. They submit their changes, and a reviewer or an admin approves them, which publishes, or sends them back with a note.

A Guides admin opens the guide's Settings and, under Reviews, turns on Editors and reviewers submit changes for approval before they're published. The Require reviews link on the Publishes tab goes there too.

Admins can always publish, reviews or not.

On the Publishes tab, an editor or reviewer sees This guide requires a review instead of the Publish form.

1. 1

   Write a note

   #Copy sectionAsk about this

   Under Note for the reviewer, say what changed and why. A note is required.

2. 2

   Submit

   #Copy sectionAsk about this

   Choose Submit for review. The card changes to Waiting for review, with when you sent it.

A guide has one open review at a time. You can keep editing while it's open: when it's approved, what's published is the drafts as they are then, including edits made after you submitted.

To take it back, choose Withdraw. Your drafts stay as they are. Only the person who submitted a review, or an admin, can withdraw it.

Reviewers and admins see open reviews at the top of the guide's Publishes tab: who wants to publish, how many changes, and their note. The changes themselves are listed on the left, each with View changes. Open the Publishes tab to check for reviews: Markdrop Guides doesn't send notifications for them yet.

• Approve and publish publishes straight away. If that publish can't start (for example the day's publishes are used up), the review stays open.
• Request changes asks What should change and sends the review back with your note. The drafts stay as they are.

A reviewer can't approve their own changes: someone else has to. An admin can approve their own.
