The status indicator circle will be a filled circle if the assigned reviewer views the page and accesses the workflow popup.

Assigning a reviewer to a content review will disable (*grey-out)* the **approve** and **reject** buttons for all other users , including space and Confluence **admins**.

## Unassigning reviewers

Although** Admin** users cannot undertake a content review assigned to another user, they can unassign reviewers.

#### Unassign

To reassign or unassign reviewers, return to the assignment search screen in the pop-up. 

Hover over the grey tick checkbox, and it will turn to blue> Macro (inline-media-image)

. Click it.

Choose the **Unassign** button to remove the reviewer. The user's avatar will be removed from the workflow popup.

If all the reviewers are unassigned, the approval can then be undertaken by any user with **Edit** permission for the page or blog.
