Change a Review action for previously reviewed and modified items
When you advance or return an item, you have the option to change your mind and change the review action for the item as long as the item is still in the current review state and you currently have more than just the one item in the review queue. For instance, the review workflow is configured so that two users are required to advance an item. The first reviewer has the option to change the review state from Advance to Return. The Final reviewer would not have the option to change the review state. In the following steps, we are assuming the initial review for the item is to advance the item. These same steps can be followed to reverse a Return step to an Advance step.
- Open an item for Review and click the Modify button.
- Make the necessary changes to the item and click the Advance button.
- Click the Previous navigation button to move back to the item.
A message in red states You have reviewed this question recently. The User Tracking tab lists the review state as Advance. - Click the Return button.
- Enter a Return Comment and click Submit.
- Click the Previous navigation button to move back to the item.
The User Tracking tab now lists the review state as Return.

Modify an item with multiple language versions
When the default language version of an item having multiple language versions in a project is modified, task notifications are created to modify the remaining language versions of the same item to reflect the change of content. This happens when one or more of the following modifications are made: Stem, Answer Option, Correct Answer Option, adding/deleting Answer Options, Lead-In, Assets, adding/deleting Stem, and changing the item type.
Once the default language version of the item is modified, task notifications appear under the My Tasks section on the home page, prompting the user to modify the remaining language versions of the same item.
Click the task titles under My Tasks on the home page, the Task View page opens and displays information about the task. As you can see in the screenshot below, a deadline of 7 days from the date of modification of the default language version of the item is set to complete the said task.
