Reviewing a task

You can access reviewing from the notification, from the e-mail sent to you which informs you about the task pending review, or directly from the main menu.

Every time you're invited to review documents in MoonDesk, you will receive a notification in your e-mail with the task's basic details. In order to start, click on the "go to review" button. The MoonDesk website will thus open up.

You can also access reviewing from the web app https://app.moondesk.design. In the upper menu, you will see the Review tab.

On the screen's left side, you will see the tasks where you participate as a reviewer. In each one of them, the task's name, deadline and the number of pending reviews for you are displayed.

To the right of the tasks, you will see the list of subtasks included in the selected task. Each subtask corresponds to a document, and it will display:

The document's name.
A thumbnail of its content.
The review status.
The current version.

In the subtasks which are pending for you, you will see the 🕓 Waiting for your review text.

To the right of the subtasks column, you will see the task's description, which could contain indications or information that's important for the collaborators.

Reviewing: approving or rejecting a document

Within a document's reviewing, in the upper right corner, you will find the "Approve" and "Reject" buttons.

If the document fulfills what was requested in the task, click on "Approve". Remember that the document's approval is just an instance in the review (since the participation of all reviewers is required), and lastly, the task owner's definition, in order for a document to become approved.

If the document doesn't fulfill with what was required, through the marking and comments tools, you can request adjustments, and click on "Reject". This action will notify the task's owner of your decision, and he will request for the necessary design adjustments once all reviewers have given their opinion or made their change requests.
