If a Reviewer can’t submit their feedback — for example, they’re on leave — you can manually set their decision, as long as you have Manage Review permissions.
This is especially useful for Project Managers who need to keep the workflow moving while still capturing stakeholder input.
How to Manually Set a Decision
- Go to the Review Queue
- Use the Search or Filters to locate the Review
- Open the Review Details screen
- If you have Manage permissions, you’ll see each Reviewer’s Decision field is editable
- Hover over the Decision area for the Reviewer — a dropdown will appear
- Select the decision you want to apply:
- Approved
- Approved with Changes
- Changes Required
Once updated, the system will automatically recalculate the overall Stage and Round decision based on the new input.
