This helps other users to determine how many people have completed the review. However, you may wish to re-enter the review if you have additional comments to add, or if you wish to change the approval status of artifacts in the review.

As long as the review is still active, you can change your review status.

    • Click the link in the review notification email.
    • Click the review link located on the right side of your activity center.
    • Click the Open Review button located in the main content area of the review artifact, if you have access to open the artifact.
  2. ClosedToggle your status between Completed and In Progress.

    • Click the mark review complete button on the ribbon (Home Tab, Review group) to toggle your review status.
