Edit or delete review discussions
After all users mark their individual reviews Completed, the review moves to a state of Resolving. At this point, as the review coordinator you must accept or reject all changes and remove all comments from all components in the review. Before you mark the entire review as Completed, you can also edit or delete review discussions.
Tips and tricks
- Reviewers can add comments about a single component or an entire review in a discussion thread using the review's Collaboration panel. Reviewers use this feature when they don't want to add comments directly in the review component's content.

Permissions may be required.
- If the review coordinator set the Resolving state restricts discussion option when creating or updating the review, only review coordinators or administrators can edit or delete their own messages in discussions.
This restriction only applies when the review is in the State of Resolving.
- If the review coordinator did not set the Resolving state restricts discussion option when creating or updating the review, any user participating in the review can edit or delete discussions until the entire review is marked as Completed or Cancelled.
