REA roles and review states

REA roles

In the REA workflow, users have one of two roles: Approver or Editor. Approvers can comment on, approve, and reject presentation updates. Approvers cannot edit the content. Editors can record or upload content to presentations created in the folder or the individual presentation, but the content does not become generally viewable until an Approver reviews it and marks it approved. If additional changes are made, the presentation will have to be approved again.

Review states

There are three states in the review workflow: Review Required, Changes Required, and Approved.

Review required: The following changes will put a presentation in the “Review Required” state:

•     Publishing from the Recorder

•     Editing the video

•     Uploading video manually

•     Adding additional media types

•     Enabling podcast

•     Enabling video podcast (if available)

•     Adding captioning

 

Changes Required: Denying the changes made to a presentation will change its state from the “Review Required” state to the “Changes Required” state.

Approved: Approving the changes made to a presentation will change its state from the “Review Required” state to the “Approved” state.

 

Review presentations page

Presentations currently in the review process (Review Required or Changes Required state) are listed on the Publishing > Review Presentations page. When a presentation has changes or approval pending, the version containing the changes is offline. Offline presentations do not appear in search results or video collections for users with only View permissions.
