Within Scilife to Force Review a Document means to force a new approval cycle.
This could be due to several reasons, including:
- You received an email notification informing you of the approaching periodic review. By Force reviewing the Document in question, you will have enough time to make the necessary changes before the Document expires.
- If the Document is in Published status and one or multiple Users with a role in the Document will have to be deleted. In this case, it is recommended to Force Review the Document, remove the soon-to-be-deleted User(s), add the new Author / Reviewer / Approver / QA, and then push the document through the entire approval cycle until Published status. Once that is done, proceed to delete the User(s) in question.
- If the Document needs to be updated before the configured expiration date.

Please note:
- The User who Forces Review a Document will automatically be set as Author of the Document. The rest of the roles will remain unchanged.
