Every new Document starts out as a draft and isn’t visible to general search until a reviewer approves it. This keeps unfinished or unvetted content out of search results while still letting the right people see and work on it early. This page covers how that review process works.

Health flags

Each Document can carry one or more health flags, shown as badges wherever Documents are listed: These flags are meant as pointers for reviewers — a quick way to spot content that needs a second look, not a judgment on whether it’s wrong.

Confidence

Every Document has a confidence score, shown as a percentage, that reflects how much a reader should trust it at a glance — based on things like age, whether it’s been reviewed, and how substantial the content is. A reviewer can override this score when approving a Document, if they have reason to trust it more or less than the automatic score suggests. Wherever confidence is shown — in the review queue or in search results — the reviewer’s override takes precedence when one has been set.

The review queue

The Review Queue page lists draft Documents in the domains you’re a reviewer for. If you’re an org admin but haven’t been individually assigned as a reviewer for any domain, this list will look empty — you can still act on any Document directly (see below), just not browse them here. For a full, org-wide view of the backlog across every domain, see Queue Health Monitoring. You can filter the queue by health flag, using the same filter available on the search page.

Previewing a Document

Clicking Preview on a queue row opens the full Document content. You’ll only be able to preview Documents you’re actually authorized to see — the same rule applies whether you reach a Document through the queue or through a direct link. If you’re not authorized, or the Document doesn’t exist, you’ll see a generic “unable to load” message rather than any part of its content.

Approving a Document

The Approve & Publish button moves a Document from draft to published, making it visible to general search. You can optionally set a confidence override at the same time, if you want reviewers and readers to trust this content more or less than its automatic score suggests.

Deprecating a Document

The Deprecate button retires a Document — typically one that’s become outdated — without deleting it. Deprecated Documents stop showing up in general search but remain visible to reviewers and admins.
