Before you start#
You need write access to the document and an eligible reviewer. Check the intended audience before submitting. Permission to edit content does not necessarily allow changing its sharing or deleting it.
Submit for review#
- Open the document and review the current content.
- Save your changes and confirm that the save succeeds.
- Select Submit for review from the document actions.
- Choose an eligible reviewer. Review any deadline or reminder settings offered by the form.
- Submit the review request.
- Confirm that the document shows the review state and intended reviewer.
If a published document cannot be submitted, make the intended revision through the editor's workflow first. Do not repeatedly submit an unchanged published version.
Act on the review#
The assigned reviewer should inspect the current document and record their decision in the review workflow. Authors should read the review outcome, resolve requested changes and submit the revised content when another review is needed.
Keep the rationale with the document so a later reader can understand the decision.
Understand publication and access#
An internal document's publication state and audience are different controls. Company-wide visibility is not internet publication. Website guides require separate eligibility and publication settings; read Write a website guide.
Resolve a problem#
| Problem | Next action |
|---|---|
| No eligible reviewer | Ask the administrator to check reviewer eligibility and document access. |
| Submit is refused | Read the state or access message and resolve the specific issue. |
| A newer edit exists | Preserve your work, load the current content and reconcile the changes. |
| Approval completed but website guide is absent | Check website publication conditions; ordinary internal approval does not publish to the internet. |
Check the result: Confirm the current version, review outcome and intended audience. For API clients, use the document conflict procedure.
