Review a document
Use this journey when a process reaches a human review phase and its documents are waiting in your queue.
The video below (in Brazilian Portuguese) follows one review from the queue to the decision, in a case where the selfie does not match the identity document. The screens are the same in English.
Before you start
- You are signed in and Operations › Human Review appears in the Workflow menu. If it does not, your profile does not include review.
- You are allocated to the review queue that holds the document. Queues are set up by your company administrator.
- At least one process is waiting for review. Processes enter review automatically when they reach a review phase; you do not need to start anything.
Steps
-
In the Workflow menu, open Operations and select Human Review. The page shows one card per queue with the number of documents waiting — for example All and Unidentified (documents whose type was not recognized).
-
Select the card of the queue you want to work on. The first document opens: its name at the top, a preview of the document, the Approve (✓) and Reject (✗) buttons and, below them, Return to requester. The counter on the right (for example
1 / 1) shows your position in the queue. -
Read the document in the preview. Use Zoom in, Zoom out, Rotate and Reset view if needed.
-
(Optional) Select Open dossier to see the process history and to leave a comment for other reviewers. See Comment in the dossier.
-
Decide:
- To approve, select Approve (✓).
- To reject, select Reject (✗). A text box appears with the hint Describe what is missing or wrong…. Type the reason and select Confirm reject.
The reason is required: if the box is empty, Confirm reject does nothing and shows no message.
-
After your decision, the next document of the queue opens. When the queue is empty, the page shows No documents to review right now.
You do not need to "claim" a document: opening it reserves it for you while you work, and leaving the page releases it. Both moments are recorded in the dossier timeline.
Comment in the dossier
- In the document, select Open dossier. The Review dossier page shows the workflow name, the review status (for example Awaiting approval), the Timeline and Earlier attempts.
- In Comment, type your text. Comments cannot be edited or deleted after they are saved.
- In Document, keep Whole process or choose the specific document the comment is about.
- (Optional) Under Mentions, tick the people to mention. You can mention queue members and previous reviewers.
- Select Save comment. The page shows Comment saved.
Expected result
- When every document of the process has a decision, the review closes automatically:
- all approved → the process continues to its next phase;
- at least one rejected → the process is returned to the requester (processes from the Portal) or ends as failed (processes started inside Workflow). See Return a document for correction.
- You do not have to decide every document to return a process from the Portal: after rejecting one, Return to requester closes the review and approves the undecided documents by omission. See Return a document for correction.
- Each decision and comment is added to the dossier timeline with its date, time and author.
How to confirm it worked
- The document is no longer in the queue, and the queue card count went down.
- In Open dossier › Timeline, your decision appears as an entry with your name and time; a comment appears with its text.
- For the process status, follow Track a document's state and routing.
If something goes wrong
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm reject does nothing | The reason box is empty | Type the reason and select Confirm reject again. |
| No documents to review right now. | The queue is empty, or nothing is allocated to you | Check another queue card; if you expected work, ask your administrator to check your queue allocation. |
| The dossier Timeline stays empty and Earlier attempts keeps showing Loading… | The history did not load | Reload the page. This was observed once and did not repeat after reloading. |
| Human Review is not in the menu | Your profile does not include review | Ask your company administrator; see Profiles. |
