Once both the Reviewee and the Reviewer(s) have shared all their comments, the review is ready for finalisation. You can see when a review is ready for finalisation from the Status column on your Me page or, if you are a Reviewer for the review, from the Review Status column on My Linked People.
When you open a review that is ready for finalisation, the 'Why can't I finalise yet?' banner has been replaced by a 'Finalisation' banner.
If the 'Why can't I finalise yet?' banner is still visible it will advise the actions required before the review will be ready for finalisation.
To confirm you are ready to finalise your review, select the checkbox against your name and select 'Submit for finalisation' on the confirmation box that is displayed. Please note that finalisation cannot be reversed and, once finalised, you will no longer be able to make any changes to your review.
Once your review has been finalised, if it has commenters on it, its status will become With Commenters, and all commenters on the form will receive an action prompting them to view the form and leave a comment.
If there are no Commenters, your review will move into your list of previous reviews, which can be viewed by clicking on the 'View previous reviews' link.
If you view your form you will see the completion box at the bottom of the form, similar to the finalisation box. You will need to tick the checkbox to close comments on the review and confirm you wish to complete it. As with finalisation, all Reviewers on the form will need to confirm they wish to complete the review.
Once everyone listed has confirmed they wish to complete the review, its status will change to Complete and it will move into your list of previous reviews, which can be viewed by clicking on the 'View previous reviews' link.
