How to review documents
Reviewing documents
When a reviewer logs into BetterExaminations, all documents assigned to them to review will appear in an easily accessible table.
Depending on the reviewer type and organisation workflow setup, documents will appear under different headings.
For example, an organisation with an internal review stage will see documents under 'Awaiting your internal review'. External reviewers will see 'Awaiting your external review' and so on.
This table will show all documents that are currently pending review from that reviewer. The reviewer can filter by course/module, document type, and search by text.
To review a specific document, the review sel
ects the review button to the right of the relevant document.
Submitting a review
When the reviewer lands on the document review page, they will be shown a preview of the document* and some document information such as the document name, document type, document version, etc.
* Note - Preview is not available for all file types. In cases where a preview is not possible, reviewers will be instructed to download the file for review.
Previewing cover pages
If you require a cover page to be attached to the exam document, the reviewer will be able to preview the generated cover page too by selecting the cover page tab.
Document history
Reviewers can view the full document audit trail by selecting the 'View document history' button. You can read more about document history here.
Reviewers can see a full history of preview document versions. A reviewer can switch to view previous versions of documents by selecting 'View older versions' and selecting an older version of the document from the dropdown.
Submitting a document review
To submit a review, the user must select one of the review options.
The reviewer can leave a comment (optional).
The reviewer can attach one or more files to their review. This is particularly useful if the reviewer wants to leave inline comments on a document for the author.
Review options
