Reviews Dashboard
The Reviews Dashboard is the home screen for Reviewers. It lists all requests that have been submitted to you for review, so you can assess the response package before it is sent to the requestor.

Review Cards
Each review card displays key information about the request under review:
- Request number -- the unique identifier for the request
- Review status -- In Review, Approved, or Changes Requested
- Priority -- the priority level assigned to the request
- When assigned -- the date and time the review was assigned to you
Performing a Review
To review a request:
- Open the review -- click a review card to open the full request details.
- Read the request details -- you have full read-only access to all request information, including requestor details, assignment results, and collected documents.
- Check documents -- verify that documents are properly classified and relevant to the request.
- Make your decision -- choose one of the following:
- Approve -- confirm the response is ready to be sent to the requestor.
- Request Changes -- send the request back to the SAO with notes explaining what needs to be corrected or completed.

When requesting changes, provide clear and specific notes so the SAO knows exactly what to address. The request will return to active status and the SAO will be notified.
After Your Decision
- Approved reviews move to the Approved status on your dashboard for your records.
- Changes Requested reviews remain visible until the SAO resubmits the request for another review cycle.
