Article Summary

Review reminders help team accounts deliver the most accurate information to customers and internal teams by alerting project members when an article is ready for review. This helps to keep your article up to date.


Review reminder

Create and apply review reminders to flag an article for review immediately, or set the review reminder to trigger on a specified date. You can also apply a review reminder individually or apply it to a group of articles.

When an article needs review, a red dot (article status indicator) will show on the left of each article title in the documentation editor.

  1. Go to an article, click on the article settings on the right
  2. Scroll down the list of menus, find the Review reminder section and expand it
  3. Enter a reason for the review. Make sure it's descriptive enough to provide context for the team member who will be tasked with reviewing the article. This field is optional
  4. Select a date for the reminder to trigger (Now, 30 days, 3 months, or Custom date)
  5. Click Save
