Creating a follow up review

Using a follow up review, you can quickly create a new review artifact based on an existing closed review with the same review contents and the same review participants. The review participants's view state, approvals and disapprovals are carried over into the new review. Review participants can see what, if any, artifacts changed in the Reviewers Experience. The author of the review can modify the contents and review participants, if desired.Follow up reviews are beneficial for many reasons. For instance, after you have incorporated stakeholder feedback from a previous review, you may wish to send the same review contents for an additional review, to the same list of stakeholders.

Note: You can only create follow up reviews for reviews that are closed.

To create a follow up review:

  1. Open the review artifact that you want to follow up on.

  2. ClosedClick Follow Up.

    The Follow Up button is located on the ribbon (Baselines and Reviews tab, Review group).

    After you click Follow Up, the Confirmation dialog appears.

  3. ClosedClick Yes to confirm that you want to create a follow up review.

    A new review artifact is created with the same review contents and review participants. The name of the new review artifact is the same, but follow-up is appended to the end of the name.

  4. Configure and start the follow up review. Read more about configuring a review.
