17.7 Closing a review

Each user completes their review comments by submitting their review responses (see section 17.4 - Adding review comments). However, the review is only finished when its creator explicitly closes it, not when all reviewers have submitted their comments.

Reviews are closed from the Review page by clicking on   View/Change  |  Close Review   and then clicking "Confirm". Only the person who created the review can close it. After a review has been closed, no-one can respond to it and it is not possible to re-open it. A review can be closed at any time, even when Tasks (see section 15.4.3 - Tasks) are outstanding on it. Once a review has been closed, this is indicated on the Review page (in lieu of an Issue Sheet's progress bar - see section 15.2 - Creating an issue) by the word [Closed] immediately after the review name.

Closing a review removes any Tasks related to the review, or its associated documents, for the person who created the review and any reviewers. (For an Open Distribution (see section 17.8 - Open Distribution), the relevant task is therefore removed from the Tasks In column of all folder members.) Closing a review records a event on the review.
