Change the status of an annotation

You can set the status for an annotation to keep track of your work.

To support content development and review management, each annotation has a status.

  • Unresolved: Requires the writer to review and a respond. This is the default status for all new annotations.
  • Resolved: The writer addressed the annotation and completed the proposed changes.
  • Accepted: The writer agrees with the proposed changes, but has not had time to make the changes.
  • Rejected: The writer disagrees with the proposed changes to the content.
Note: If you are an assigned user, you can see but not change the status of an annotation.

As you make changes to the content, based on the annotations from the reviews, you should change the annotation status. For example, you can change the status of a comment from Unresolved to Resolved.

To change the status of an annotation:

  1. In the Body Content or Side Panel, find the annotation that you want to change the status for.
  2. From the drop-down list with the current status, select the status you want.
  3. (Optional) If another user recently changed an annotation status and you receive an error message, click the link in the error messages to reload the Collaborative Review page and see the current status of the annotation.
    Note: In IXIA CCMS Web the Collaborative Review page does not refresh automatically.
If there are no conflicts, the annotation status changes. A timestamp tracks the user making the status change and the time for doing so.
