Introduction

Periodic Review is a feature you can activate on guides to prompt review at regular intervals. This is a useful feature for managing internal documentation, as it lets you proactively check for out-of-date content rather than waiting for it to be reported.

    • Setting or editing a periodic review schedule does not create a new draft of the guide, meaning the schedule can be freely adjusted by an admin (authors can initially set up a schedule, but cannot edit a set schedule).

    • This means that approvers assigned to that guide's approval process will not be notified of a change.

  5. The same functions available on an individual guide can also be set as site defaults. On the Management Console, under Configuration > General, scroll down to Periodic Review.

Who is prompted to review the guide? Is it only the Author? Or are others also notified?
