Working in an Individual Review task as a lead assignee

Review tasks allow you to inspect an item list on an item-by-item basis. In an Individual Review task, all assignees work on their own versions of task items. As a lead assignee, you can review all assignees’ item versions and promote selected changes to the original central copy of the item.

This article explains how to work in an Individual Review task as a lead assignee, including how to compare item versions and promote changes to the original item.
