Who this is for: All users.
These look similar but have different causes, and different people resolve them.
Blocked — an issue has been raised that is stopping the audit: access denied, a safety concern, obstruction, missing information — or a declared conflict of interest.
Only the audit owner can resolve it.
The owner opens Issues in the audit’s Audit Overview panel and selects Resolve on the issue.
A resolution note is required. The row then shows who resolved it, when, and the note.
When every open issue is resolved, the audit returns to In Progress.
The auditor can keep working while the audit is Blocked; only publishing is paused.
Everything is recorded in the audit’s history log.
For Review — the audit has been sent for technical review because its template requires one.
Only the assigned technical reviewer can move it on.
They approve, which publishes the audit, or reject with a reason, which returns it to In Progress.
The auditor cannot edit it while it is For Review.
Status | Who resolves | Result |
Blocked | The audit owner | Returns to In Progress once every issue is resolved |
For Review | The assigned technical reviewer | Published, or returned to In Progress |
If the person who needs to act is unavailable, the owner can be changed with Change Audit Owner on the audit’s ⋮ menu, and the technical reviewer can be changed on the audit’s Audit Details step.
