Review

Tasks in a Review stage will be shown to a user with at least review permissions (e.g. Reviewers, Leads, and Managers) when they click on Start Reviewing for reviewing.

Once a reviewer is assigned to review a task in a Review stage, they will remain the assignee for that task for this stage even if, later, the task moves to other stages and then comes back to the original Review stage.

Therefore, if someone reviews a task, and then it gets sent back to the same review stage as a result of other workflow actions later, it will be reviewed by the same reviewer.

Output

The Review stage has two outputs, one for each of the review options. If a reviewer, while reviewing, clicks on Accept, it is sent from the Accepted output. Alternatively, if the reviewer clicks on Reject, it is sent from the Rejected output.

This allows you to create workflows where, for example, you send rejected tasks to a second review, or back to labeling as shown in this previous section.

Output Percentages

The percentages displayed on the stage indicate the percentage of times tasks have been sent out of the Review stage from the Accepted or Rejected outputs.

For example, if tasks left the Review stage 100 times, and 76 of these times it was through the Accepted output, then the acceptance percentage displayed will be 76%.

Please note that this includes tasks which go through the Review stage multiple times.

For example, in a new Review stage, if a task is initially rejected, this it will count as a rejection, and the rejection rate will go to 100%. Later, if that same task is sent back to this Review stage and accepted, this will count as an acceptance, but for the purposes of the percentage displayed on screen, the earlier rejection is not removed. The percentages displayed at this point would then be 50%/50% as there has been one rejection and one acceptance.

Options

Read Only. By activating this toggle, annotations can be viewed but cannot be added, edited, deleted, or saved by any role, including Organization Admins and Project Managers. Users with permission to review the task can still click on Accept or Reject. Disable the toggle to allow authorized users to edit annotations during review.

Bulk Accept/Reject. From the left dropdown, you may select all tasks in the stage or only a particular batch. Then, by clicking on Accept or Reject, you can bulk accept/reject them. This is akin to clicking on "Accept" or "Reject" on all tasks.

In 3D MSFT projects, bulk review actions only apply to unassigned tasks. Ango Hub shows how many tasks in the selected stage or batch are eligible and disables the actions when there are no eligible tasks.

You can also bulk accept or reject tasks from the Tasks tab. This is useful when you need to filter the task list first, for example to accept only tasks with a specific label or assignee while leaving the rest of the review queue untouched.

Assignees. By default, tasks in a Review stage are shown to any user with review permissions who clicks on Start Reviewing. To restrict tasks to specific reviewers, click on "Select Reviewer" and choose one or more users from the dropdown. This ensures that only the selected user(s) can review tasks in this stage.
