## Assigning a reviewer

In the **Review** state:

- Choose the status indicator circle
- When the approval state dialog box appears, select **+ Add reviewer **button

A search screen is displayed to let you search and select one or more users and add them as reviewers.

Type inside the search bar to find the user to assign, <span style="color: #172b4d">you can search by </span>**full name**<span style="color: #172b4d">, </span>**username**<span style="color: #172b4d">, or </span>**email address**<span style="color: #172b4d"> or select from the contributors suggested by the app</span>.

When you have found the user you are looking for, click the **check box** on the right to assign them to the review:

If you need to leave a note for the reviewer, use the 'add a note' text box. The user sees this in a notification and an email.

After typing or selecting a role, choose **Enter** or click outside the text box *before *clicking the blue **Assign **button.

To save the assignment of the reviewer, click the blue **Assign **button.

The selected assignee is added to the approval state dialog box:

If you are viewing the page and have been assigned to the review, you also see a change in the status indicator circle. This is displayed as a filled circle indicating you are assigned to undertake the approval. The approval decisions buttons are displayed for all other users who are not assigned as a reviewer.

## Unassigning reviewers

To reassign or unassign reviewers, return to the assignment search screen in the approval dialog box. Choose the **+** plus button, or the reviewer avatar.

#### Unassign

- Move the pointer over the grey tick check box > Macro (inline-media-image)

  and it turns to blue > Macro (inline-media-image)
- Click it
- Choose the **Unassign** button to remove the reviewer

Without a reviewer assigned, the approval can be undertaken by any user with **edit** permission for the page or blog.
