Review Read Status
Manage unread review state to keep your team focused on new feedback
Read status helps teams distinguish newly detected reviews from already processed items.
How It Works
- New synced/imported reviews can be marked unread.
- Opening and processing workflows usually end with manual read confirmation.
- Use the read endpoint to set
isRead = true.
Mark as Read
From the review item action flow, mark reviews as read once triage is complete.
This keeps the Unread metric aligned with true pending work.
Why It Matters
- Cleaner daily queue
- Better handoff between team members
- Faster identification of newly detected reviews
Team Workflow Recommendation
Use a shared rule:
- Mark as read only after action is complete (reply, escalate, or intentionally defer).
- Keep unread counts as a real workload signal, not a reminder list.
- Review unread queue at least once per day to avoid stale backlog.
Common Mistakes
- marking items read before reply/escalation is recorded
- leaving completed items unread, which inflates urgency metrics
Weekly queue audits help ensure unread status remains a trustworthy operational signal.
