Review initiators

Review initiators start review and approval processes. The review initiator is usually the content owner of the document under review. In some cases, however, the content owner may not be the same person. For example, a scientist submits his paper to a publishing house. The paper is reviewed internally. The review initiator in this case is the person in the department of the publication house.

To initiate reviews, the user must be assigned the RCA Review Initiator role in Adobe User Management. Review initiators perform the following tasks:

• Starts reviews by choosing a review template, provides review details, selects review and supporting documents for the review, and chooses the review participants.

• Manages reviews that they start, which can include tasks such as, revising reviews, updating reviews with new versions of content, modifying the schedule, and modifying the review participants.

• Starts the next stage in a review when straight-through processing is not configured. (See Understanding review and approval stages .)
