About
Depending on the configuration of the review template, the Review Screen can have one or multiple checklists for a review. A checklist is a set of items with check boxes. You may want to use these lists to remind review participants about certain actions or verifications to perform on the review, for instance, to check the spelling and punctuation or to verify that the reviewed files match style guides adopted in your organization.
You can see these lists in the Checklists section of the review screen (this section is hidden, if the review template doesn’t use any checklists):

Collaborator track all activities on checklists. For example, when a review participant selects a check box in the checklist, Collaborator logs their name and the timestamp of the change. Also, it adds a message about the change to the Chat section of the review. If a participant clears some check box, Collaborator also adds a message about this to the Chat section.
For auditing purposes, you can include checklist status changes into the Review Details Report. Make sure that Checklist History is set to Display Checklist History for this.
