Flexible Home Widgets Replace Start Page

The Home module has undergone significant improvements, replacing the Review Manager overview page with flexible widgets. The previous Review Manager overview page had some limitations:

  • Lack of search functionality and column sorting

  • Confusing filter options and a single view for all users

  • Default view tailored for owners, often resulting in empty pages for reviewers

This version provides a more customizable and efficient way to manage reviews directly from the Home screen.

  • New Review Manager widgets in the Home module (See Review Manager Widget)

  • Configurable widgets tailored for reviewers, content creators, and owners

  • Direct access to open reviews from the Home screen

  • Search functionality and advanced filtering options (five preset filters available)

  • Voting status and total review count displayed for selected filter

  • Customizable sortable columns with drag-and-drop reordering and adjustable widths

  • Option to show/hide specific columns

  • Review Manager is still accessible as separate sidebar navigation entry if needed, although it will redirect you to Home.

  • The new Reject option allows reviewers to reject a version without requesting changes, streamlining the review process

Note

Review Manager widgets must be added to a Home dashboard by an administrator. The flexible widget options in the Home module offer greater versatility compared to the previous static Review Manager homepage. It is possible to create multiple start pages for different personas. For example, you can create a dashboard that is accessible only to users with theReviewer role and another that is accessible only to users with the Owner role.

The widget provides a dedicated area for managing review tasks. You can find it under Home or if enabled via selecting Reviews in the sidebar navigation.

  • View all your active review to-dos in one place

  • All Reviews filter, set as default view

  • The default view shows all reviews you're involved in, regardless of your role

  • Search and filter review tasks

  • Managers can see an overview of team reviews and statuses

  • Streamlined review management with All Reviews means no need to switch between filters

  • Improved enterprise functionality: Administrators can use the Review Manager widget effectively

  • The default view displays all reviews for each user role (Owner, Reviewer, Guest, Uploader)

  • Use search or select specific filters to narrow down the review list

In previous versions, users could not easily search or filter for their review to-dos on the main overview page. The new Review Manager widget addresses this limitation by providing a focused view of review tasks.

This upgrade aims to improve efficiency in managing reviews and bring our review functionality in line with industry standards.
