Conference organisers can customise the review hub and create the questions that you may be asked. Your screen may look slightly different than the images and video in this article.    #### Step 1: My reviews card From your Ex Ordo dashboard, find the **My Reviews** card and click on **Start Reviewing**. This will bring you to the list of submissions, where you will see all the submissions that have been assigned to you.  #### ![Screenshot 2025-12-23 at 09.57.45](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2009.57.45.png?width=670&height=402&name=Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2009.57.45.png) #### Step 2: My Reviews list If you haven't started any reviews yet, submissions will all be marked as **Not Started.** Once you start reviewing, it will appear as **In Progress**, and after you finish the review, it will appear as **Completed.**   ![Screenshot 2025-12-23 at 09.57.01](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2009.57.01.png?width=670&height=456&name=Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2009.57.01.png) My reviews list might contain a mix of Panel contributions or Individual submissions. You can see the panel title if a submission belongs to a panel: ![Screenshot 2025-12-23 at 10.02.07](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2010.02.07.png?width=670&height=430&name=Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2010.02.07.png) You can also read your submissions offline. Have a look at our guide on the Reviewer Pack [here](https://help.exordo.com/reviewer-pack-guide?hsLang=en). #### Step 3: Accept the review Click on the submission title to expand the view and then select the **Review** button to get started. You may see two options: Review or Don't Review. This depends on whether the conference organiser allows review declines or not. ![Screenshot 2025-12-23 at 10.08.40](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2010.08.40.png?width=670&height=557&name=Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2010.08.40.png) If you are reviewing  submissions that are part of the panel, you can access the panel overview from the expanded submission view, as shown below: ![Screenshot 2025-12-23 at 10.07.35](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2010.07.35.png?width=670&height=629&name=Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2010.07.35.png) The panel overview will open up in the new pop-up screen: ![Screenshot 2025-12-23 at 10.08.05](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2010.08.05.png?width=670&height=812&name=Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%2010.08.05.png) #### Step 4: Complete the review Once you have agreed to review a submission, you'll see the **Marking Scheme** with the scoring categories you need to complete. The questions appear just underneath the submission content.  You can see more information about the questions on the left-hand side by clicking the downward facing arrow and you can record your scores on the right-hand side or choose an option from the drop-down menus. The system automatically saves any text or score you have entered as soon as you click outside of the score or comment box. If you log out, you'll find your review the same as you left it.   ![](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-26-2024-01-53-19-2627-PM.png?width=670&height=691&name=image-png-Nov-26-2024-01-53-19-2627-PM.png) You may also be required to or asked to leave comments. It is very important ot understand who can see the comments you enter into the system.  - **Reviewer feedback for Authors'** comments will eventually be shared with everyone who is listed on an author on the specific submission. These comments are also visible to conference admins. - **Reviewer feedback for Conference Chairs** will only be visible to you and the conference administrators. The administrators may choose to share these comments with authors, but this does not happen by default.   ![](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-26-2024-01-55-51-3908-PM.png?width=670&height=564&name=image-png-Nov-26-2024-01-55-51-3908-PM.png) #### Step 5: Complete your review Now that you have filled in the review form, the next step is to complete your review. You may need to come back to this review and make changes later on. You can click on the **Save & Close** button, which will allow you to edit your review later.  Hit the **Complete Review** button when you are finished and ready to lock in your opinion. You won't be able to edit the review again after doing so. You can reach out to the conference admins to request that they reopen your review so you can make changes if you spot a mistake.    ![](https://help.exordo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-26-2024-01-55-11-5507-PM.png?width=670&height=582&name=image-png-Nov-26-2024-01-55-11-5507-PM.png) That's it!
