Review reminders

Review reminders help teams deliver the most accurate information to customers and internal teams by alerting project members when an article is ready for a fresh pair of eyes.

Using review reminders

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 to a group of articles.

When an article is in need of review, a red state icon will show next to the article title in the documentation editor.

Creating a review reminder

1. In an article, click on the review reminder icon.
2. 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.
3. Select a date for the reminder to trigger.
4. Click Apply.

Clearing a review reminder

Once an article in need of review has been edited:

1. Click the Needs review button.
2. Click Set as Reviewed
