Initiate a review
You can create reviews for any item or group of items that you can access. By default, you are the moderator for any reviews you create.
You can start a review from several places in the interface. Whichever method you use, a wizard opens and guides you through the process.
Method/location | Action |

Reviews | Select Reviews in the top navigation, then select Start a review. |

Baselines tab — Right-click on the source that includes the baselined items you want to review, then select Send for review (reviews the items in their current state, not their baselined state). If all items from an existing source were deleted, you can't select Send for review from the baseline tree. |
Tip
When you initiate a review, a baseline of the selected reviews is automatically generated. You can find this baseline under the Baselines tab or you can find a link under the Versions tab of any item in this review.
