Notes

• The list of feedback is sorted by feedback that needs to be approved; if there is an orange triangle it is needing review, if it is a green checkmark it has already been reviewed, and if it is a gray checkmark there is no feedback to be reviewed. Reviewed feedback goes to the bottom of the list.
• If the judges feedback is good and does not need to be edited just press the Save to mark it as reviewed, you don't need to fill in the Revised Comments section if changes aren't needed.
