Viewing and Managing Documents Sent for Review:

When you submit a document for Review, it automatically appears on a page labeled Reviews (in the lower left menu, under Collaboration), under the tab called Sent for Review.  Go to this page to check on whether you submitted a document successfully and to see your instructor’s comments and assessment for a given assignment.

1. If you think you submitted a document for review, but it does not show up in this list, something went wrong.  Go back to the document and go through the submitting process again.
2. What the columns mean: The Title column contains the name of your document; the To column tells you who you gave reviewer access to; the Sent column tells you the (most recent) date you submitted the assignment; the Reviewed column tells you the status of the review (“pending” means the instructor hasn’t done it yet; a date in that column indicates the date the instructor submitted her review); the Asmt column indicates the status of the assessment (if it is blank, the instructor hasn’t submitted the assessment yet; “completed” indicates it is finished and accessible to you).  An instructor can submit a review without submitting an assessment. The Action column contains a “view” link and, if no review or assessment has been started yet, an “unsubmit” link.  The “view” link lets you see the document version you submitted and any comments and assessments the reviewer has provided.  The “unsubmit” link allows you to take the document out of the reviewer’s account, IF the reviewer has not begun the review or assessment process yet. 
3. To view the instructor’s comments and/or assessment, click on view.  This will open the document copy you submitted.  Any reviewer comments will be in green boxes.  If a page name (on the left) is green, that means there is a comment on that page.  If an assessment has also been completed, there will be a View Assessment link at the top of the page.  Click that to go to the assessment tool the instructor filled out.  Click on the name of the rubric or on All, to see the details.  Again, comments made on the rubric itself will be in green boxes; a summary comment box is located at the bottom.  Some assessments have more than one rubric (like for journals and portfolios); be sure you are looking at the rubric for the right entry.
4. Some assignments get done and assessed in stages (like journals and portfolios).  And sometimes instructors give reviewer comments without assessing, so that you have an opportunity to revise before they grade.  In both cases, once you have made changes or additions to a document and are ready for the instructor to review and/or assess it again, you need to Submit for Review again, from within the original document.
5. Once you have submitted a document more than once, a symbol will appear next to it (a circle with a plus inside it).  If you click the symbol, all the earlier versions/submissions will appear beneath the most recent one.  To close this “history” view, click the symbol again.  Reviewers’ comments are associated only with the version on which they were originally placed.  If you have submitted a document again since the assessment or review was done, the top “level” document will not contain the reviewer’s responses.  To see those, you will need to go to the earlier version – probably the most recent one that contains a “completed” in the assessment column.
6. If you created labels for your documents while in MyWork, those same label titles appear in your Review section (in the drop-down menu entitled Filter by Label. These are not the same “spaces,” even though they have the same names.  If you filed things in these folders while at MyWork, you will not see those documents if you click on these label names while in Reviews.  However, you can use these labels to file the documents you have sent for review.  (If you have not yet created organizing labels, you can do so from within Reviews by selecting the document you want to file, clicking Apply Label at the top of the page, and clicking New Label.  Or you can choose to go back to MyDesk and go through the label creation process there.)
   1. To file a document in the Review section, click the box next to the selected document (or multiple documents, if you want to put them all in the same folder).
   2. With the documents selected (boxes checked), click Apply Label.
   3. If a given document has a history of previous submissions, you can move them all at once when you select the top level.
   4. If you’ve got “extra” documents in this section – mistakes from last semester, for example – you might want to create a “junk” folder to put them in. 
   5. You cannot delete anything from this section if any action has been taken by a reviewer.  If the “unsubmit” option is not available to you and you want to move a document out of your way, the only thing you can do with it is file it in an organizing folder.
