Once reviewing has been configured, you can preview it before opening access to reviewers. This helps confirm assignments, visibility, and workflows are correct.
Using the Reviewing fast start
When configuring reviewing with Reviewing fast start select Add myself to the panel. This automatically assigns you to the panel for previewing.
Using panels
If you configured reviewing manually using panels, follow these steps:
- Ensure you have the reviewer role (see: Ultimate guide to user roles)
- Add yourself to the relevant reviewing panel
- Open the Review workspace
- Go to Applications
- Select Preview reviewing
- Choose the reviewing round
- Click Save
- Select Start on the score set to view assignments
If a reviewer confidentiality agreement is configured for the score set, you must accept it before viewing applications.
Best practice for testing
Test reviewing using test applications only. Avoid testing on real applications submitted by users to prevent stray scores.
Stray scores:
- Do not affect reviewing results
- Cannot be removed
- Remain visible in assignments

Remove yourself after testing
To remove yourself and stop seeing reviewing views:
- Open the Manage workspace and go to Reviewing > Settings > Panels
- Open each panel used for testing
- Remove yourself from the 'Who' section
- Click Save
