Reviewing draft files

When you are selected as a reviewer for library files, it is your responsibility to approve new or updated files before they are published to the library.

About this task

When a file comes in for review, designated reviewers receive an email notification to let them know that a file requires their approval. If the file is approved, it is published to the library and is visible to everyone with reader access to the library. If the file is rejected, it is returned to the file owner, who can update the file and resubmit the changed version for review.

By default, all designated reviewers must approve file drafts before they are published to the library, however, a community owner can override this requirement to specify that only one approval is needed. For more information, see How do I manage a community library.
