Overview

This article explains how to review informal observations. When reviewing observations from the current academic year, you can edit them, approve and publish them, or decline them.

The observation you are reviewing must be from the current academic year in order for you to approve or decline its publication. Observations from previous academic years can still be viewed, but only those from this academic year will display the approve and decline options.

Prerequisites

• You must have one of the following user roles / permissions to review an informal observation: Account owner, Account Admin or Full Edit.
