Reviews can be moderated, to ensure that only appropriate comments are visible in the catalogue.


> ℹ️ *Whether reviews require moderation or not is defined in System Maintenance (**[Reviews and Ratings](https://soutron.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HG/pages/3279602)**).*

**To moderate reviews, select **<span style="color: #ff0000">**Modules > Cataloguing > Catalogue Review Moderation**</span>**.**

By default, only reviews made "Today" are shown, and with a status of "Awaiting approval".


> ℹ️ Note that if a user has submitted just a rating with no comments, it does not require moderation and approval/rejection and so will not appear in the list.

These filters can be adjusted to show different reviews.

To process each review, there are three options:


|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| **Confirm** | confirms the review, so it will then appear in the catalogue |
| **Reject comments only** | the review will be rejected and removed. If the user has made a rating, this will remain. |
| **Reject comments and ratings** | both the review and the rating will be rejected and removed |



Select all the reviews that are to be processed in the same way by ticking the box next to them.

Then click on the appropriate option in the Actions menu.
