How can I see which files still need my review?

Always keep track of files that still need your feedback and approval.

Updated over a week ago

From time to time, it is challenging to keep track of which files need your feedback, especially when you have to review files across multiple teams. In this article, we will explain to you, how you can easily keep track of your projects and files in review.


Awaiting my review

The Awaiting my review feature helps you maintain a clear overview. This functionality shows you all the files where you haven't submitted your review decision.

To get to the overview, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Filestage account.
    *If you don't have an account yet, you can sign up here: https://app.filestage.io/#!/signup

  2. Go to your project overview

  3. Click the button "Awaiting my review".

The overview shows you a list of files to which you have been invited to give feedback on as a reviewer and which you have not approved or requested changes.

You can click on the individual file to open it as usual. Once you finish your review by clicking either on Approve or Request Changes, it will be removed from the Awaiting my review section. If you'd like to access the file again, it will still be accessible in its original project.
The files also get removed from your Awaiting my review list if the project admin changes the review status to Approved or Needs changes or if the project is archived.


When is a file displayed in the Awaiting my review list?

  • If you have been invited to this file as a reviewer (with request review decision enabled)

  • if you haven't submitted a review decision yet

  • if the file status is In review

  • if the project is not archived


💡Protip: Have the Awaiting my review section always on hand to be up to date by adding the following link in your browser's bookmark: https://app.filestage.io/#!/my-reviews


How to remove a file from the awaiting my review list?

You can either remove files yourself from your Awaiting my review list, or your admin can do it for you by either:

To remove yourself from your Awaiting my review list, you can either submit a review decision or remove yourself from the reviewer group.

Approve the version (or request changes)

You can remove a file from your awaiting my review list by simply approving it or requesting changes. This is the optimal method if you want to continue to review future versions or be notified of changes to the file.

  1. Open the file in the awaiting my review list which you want to remove by clicking on it

  2. Click either on "Approve Version" or "Request Changes" in the upper right corner of the file view.

  3. Now the file is no longer in your awaiting my review list

Remove yourself from the reviewer group

By removing yourself as a reviewer from the reviewer group, you are letting the collaborators know that you don't want to give feedback on any files in that reviewer group. You will also not be notified about any new files, comments, or versions in that step as well.

To remove yourself as a reviewer from the reviewer group, follow these steps:

  1. Open the file in the awaiting my review list from which you want to remove yourself by clicking on it

  2. Click on your icon in the top bar above the file

  3. Then click on "Remove Reviewer" to remove yourself from the reviewer group.

  4. Now the file is no longer in your awaiting my review list


ℹ️You can see other files in that reviewer group by using the navigational carousel below the file view before stating you don't want to leave feedback on any file in that step

Is the Awaiting my review overview available for everyone?

The Awaiting my review overview is available to anyone that has registered with Filestage and has been invited to review assets. You can be part of a paying team or have a free account using the Reviewer Dashboard.
