Steps
Choose the right scope
Open Reviews and select the client, location, review source, or campaign you want to work on.

Open the supporting detail
Keep the original customer feedback visible while you review a reply or follow-up action.
Record the next action
The response, note, request, or report is tied to the correct review source and status. Save or assign the next step instead of treating the summary as proof that work is complete.
EXPECTED RESULT
What you should see when you finish

If something does not look right

Check the selected scope, date range, account connection, and your permissions. Reply and campaign options vary by review site, connection, contact permission, and local policy.

Return to Reviews, confirm the source and checked date, then repeat the task with the same scope. Do not replace a missing value with zero or assume a submitted change is already live.
