Before you start

Use a reviewer account authorised for the response and its supporting records. Confirm subject, template/version and linked assessment. Do not review a similarly named draft from a different organisation.

Open the submitted instance

  1. Open Questionnaires → Responses & review. Search the response or subject.
  2. Inspect status and progress, then choose Review response where offered.
  3. Read applicability/scope answers first so subsequent answers are interpreted in the correct context.

Review evidence and gaps

  1. Check required answers and supporting material against the question and review period.
  2. Open source references behind material claims; an AI draft is not source evidence.
  3. Record corrections, clarification or gaps through the controls available to you. Do not invent a positive answer to clear validation.
  4. Use the permitted review action and check the resulting state. If amendments are required, use the supported return/reopen path rather than editing the template.

What the result means

Answered questions indicate response progress. A reviewed questionnaire may support an assessment but does not automatically approve the assessment, certify compliance or settle unrelated findings.

If the response changed during review, reload its current state and recheck affected answers before deciding. Preserve the response reference when escalating a blocker.
