Add participants to a sequential Approval review

Add users or groups to review stages so that participants review the content in a specific order. Each stage begins after the previous stage is complete.

Important considerations
  • In a sequential review, participants receive an email when they’re added. The email explains that they can review the content when their stage becomes active.

  • When all required participants in a stage complete their reviews, the next stage becomes active, and each participant receives an email. If a group is assigned to a stage, one group member must claim the review before the group can complete it.

  • If a participant rejects the content, the review returns to the first stage when the content enters its next revision. The stages then repeat in order.

  • As a moderator, you can see the review’s stage at the top of the review or in Stats > Review activity.
