Getting Started with Reviews

Set Up Review Process — Foundation guide for enabling review workflows. Start here to understand review types, roles, and basic configuration.

Review Configuration Guides

Configure Comment-Based Reviews — Enable collaborative feedback using inline comments and discussion threads on risk items. Configure Approval-Based Reviews — Implement formal approval workflows with reviewer sign-off and status tracking. Configure Work Item-Based Reviews — Link review tracking to dedicated work items (tickets, tasks) for audit trails and escalation. Manage Cross-Project Reviews — Coordinate reviews across multiple projects for enterprise risk governance and multi-team assessments.
Start with Set Up Review Process to understand your organizational needs, then configure the appropriate review type(s) for your workflow. Most teams use a combination of comment-based (rapid feedback) and approval-based (formal gates) reviews.
Once a review is initiated, configure reviewers carefully. Changing reviewer roles mid-review may require resetting review state depending on your Polarion version. See related troubleshooting guides if reviews become stuck.
