Using Compare to View Changes (During Grace Period & for Ancillary Reviewers)

Effective 6.1.22

When a submission is in View mode, reviewers must click the Compare button to see changes made. This is shown in the images below.

Note:

  • Submissions (new, amendment, annual review, and triennial review) are in View mode for reviewers when:

    • The submission is in the state of Grace Period (including for committee members) OR
    • The reviewer is assigned as ancillary reviewer only (not also performing a committee or designated review)
  • When a submission in is in View mode, the left sidebar Next Steps menu button will say View (as opposed to Review).
  • When a submission is in Review mode, the left sidebar Next Steps menu button will say Review.
  •  In Review mode, submission changes are shown automatically. Thus, the below steps do not apply to Review mode.

 

The below diagram shows which button the Reviewer sees in a given state while in View mode.
