How to enable scheduled reviews for a content type

Scheduled reviews remind editors to check content at regular intervals. This helps ensure published information stays accurate and up to date.

Reviews are set at the content type level, so all entries created from that content type follow the same schedule.

You must have permission to edit content types or be a System Administrator.

Use scheduled reviews when content needs to be checked regularly to ensure it remains accurate.

Common examples include:

• course pages that need reviewing before each academic cycle
• public service information that must stay accurate for residents
• policy or guidance pages that change over time
• content owned by multiple teams that needs regular oversight

If you only want to review content occasionally, you may prefer on-demand reviews instead of a scheduled review cycle.

To enable scheduled review requests for a content type:

1. Go to the content type you want to configure.
2. Select the settings cog in the vertical toolbar.
3. Open the Content reviews tab.
4. Turn on Enable scheduled reviews.
5. Set the review schedule.

For example, you might review content every 180 days with a 30-day review window.

7. Save your changes.
8. Publish the content type.

All published entries created from this content type will follow the review schedule.

• Published entries receive a next review due date.
• Entries are flagged when they enter the review window.
• Editors see review information in the entry editor review panel.

Universities often review:

• Course pages every 180 days
• Admissions guidance every 90 days
• Student support information every 365 days

This helps ensure information such as entry requirements, fees and deadlines stays accurate.

Local authorities often review:

• Council services pages every 180 days
• Planning policy information every 365 days
• Seasonal or emergency services every 30 to 90 days

Regular reviews help maintain accurate public service information.

To disable scheduled review requests for a content type:
