Manage default collection reviewers

Reviewers are responsible for checking assets before they are released and requesting changes if needed.

Only assets that are in a project collection can have reviewers, and only members of the project can be reviewers.

Adding default reviewers to a collection ensures that when a review is started for an asset in a project collection, the default reviewers are added to the asset review.

If a user is removed from a project, they are removed as an asset reviewer from all assets in the project.

For instructions on reviewing an asset, see Review assets.

The actual reviewers on an asset depend on:

The default reviewers assigned to the project the asset is in. See Manage default project reviewers.
Only for projects that contain a repository: The default reviewers assigned to the repository the asset is in. This takes precedence over the default project reviewers. See Manage default repository reviewers.
The default reviewers assigned to the collection the asset is in. This takes precedence over the default project reviewers.
Reviewers assigned directly to the asset. This takes precedence over the default project and collection reviewers. See View asset reviewers.

To add and remove default reviewers on a collection:

Open the collection to manage default collection reviewers for.
In the upper right of the page, below your avatar, click the vertical ellipsis button .

The dropdown menu is displayed.
Select Manage reviewers.

The list of default collection reviewers is displayed when the asset is in review. Initially this is pre-populated with the default project reviewers of the parent project:

To add a project member as a default reviewer for the collection, use the Search box and click the user name to add them as a reviewer.
To remove a reviewer from the collection, in the reviewer list, next to their name, click X.
To reset the default collection reviewers list to the default project reviewers in the parent project, at the bottom of the list, click Reset to project settings.

The reset option is only available if the collection reviewers list is different to the default project reviewers of the parent project.
