Assigning a reviewer makes it clear who is responsible for checking an entry.

You can assign or change a reviewer at any time and optionally include a message explaining the reassignment.

You must be a reviewer or a System administrator to assign reviewers for content entries.

Assign a reviewer when:

• An entry needs expert review.
• Responsibility for reviewing content needs to be clearly defined.
• A review request has been made but no reviewer is assigned.
• The current reviewer needs to be changed.

To view the currently assigned reviewer and any available reviewers:

1. Open the entry in the editor.
2. Open the Content review panel.

In the Reviewers section of the panel, you will see:

Assigned reviewer

• If a reviewer has been assigned, the reviewer’s name and avatar will be displayed.
• If no reviewer has been set, an Unassigned status will be displayed.

Available reviewers

• A row or stack of avatars shows all users who can review the entry.
• If more reviewers exist than can be shown, a +{x} indicator will indicate how many more reviewers are available.

To assign a reviewer, or change the assigned reviewer:

1. Open the Content review panel.
2. Select Assign reviewer or Edit reviewer.
3. The Assign a reviewer window opens.
4. Open the Assign reviewer dropdown.
5. Select the user you want to assign.
6. (Optional) Enter a message explaining the assignment.
7. Select Assign reviewer.

You can include a message to explain why the reviewer has been assigned or what they should focus on.

For example:

• “You’re closest to the latest API changes.”
• “Please check the accessibility section.”

After you assign a reviewer:

• The content review panel updates to show the reviewer’s name and avatar.
• The reviewer becomes responsible for reviewing the entry.
• Depending on system configuration, the reviewer may receive an email notification.
