Reviewing submissions
For government agency reviewers — how submitted projects arrive in your office's inbox and how you accept or reject them.
This guide is for government agency reviewers — the staff who receive projects, rather than the citizens or planners who create them. When someone submits a project to a government organization for review, this is what happens on your side.
The submissions inbox
Submitted projects arrive in a submissions inbox scoped to your office. You see the projects submitted to your office in one place, so reviewing is a matter of working through the inbox rather than hunting across the app.
The submission lifecycle
Each submission moves through a simple status lifecycle:
- Submitted — the project has been sent to your office and is waiting on a decision.
- Accepted — you've approved the submission.
- Rejected — you've declined the submission.
From a submitted item, you act on it by accepting or rejecting it, which moves it out of the pending state.
Notifications
When you accept or reject a submission, an email notification is sent, so the submitter learns the outcome without checking back manually.
