Downloading Reviews to the OLC

This will prompt you to enter your password to login to the selected server. Enter the same login details as when accessing Please Review online.
- Once logged in, select the ‘Download’ icon to download your reviews:
You will then be presented with a list of reviews available to you. This list will be all reviews for which you are a Reviewer, and that are available for offline review, from all Workgroups.
Note: If you have already downloaded a review(s) shown in the main window, it will not appear in this list.
- Select the review(s) you wish to download. You can select more than one review by pressing the Ctrl key as you select reviews.
- Click ‘Download’.
- The reviews will be downloaded into the main OLC window and your status in the online Review Control Panel will automatically be set to 'Offline'.
Note: If a review is closed, you can still download it, but it will be read-only.
