Owner-Centric Interface Updates

We've made several important improvements to the Review Manager to provide better clarity on roles, responsibilities, and review status. These updates will help you navigate the review process more efficiently.

  • With version 8.0 the review Owner is now prominently displayed in the header, replacing the previous Uploader information

  • This change highlights the key decision-maker and coordinator for each review

  • You can now easily identify who to contact with questions or concerns about the review

  • For reviews in New Version Requested status, you'll also see a New version due until date

  • The participant list now includes all key roles: Reviewers, Owners, Uploaders and Guests

  • This gives you a complete overview of everyone involved in the review

We've updated the icons and explanations in the participant list to better reflect user permissions:

  • ❶The user can provide feedback on the review

  • ❷The user can vote on the review

  • ❸The user can request a new version

  • ❹The user can approve and finish the review (Approve/Cancel)

  • When you @mention an owner in a comment, they won't be automatically added as a reviewer

  • This prevents confusion and duplicate notifications

These changes provide a more transparent and intuitive review process. You'll have a clearer understanding of who's leading each review, who's involved, and what actions they can take.
