How to Edit and Manage an Existing Review
📌 Overview
This article covers how to open an existing review and manage everything about it — from hiding, replacing, or deleting the asset, to generating subtitles, setting a thumbnail, changing its status, or cloning it to another product.
💡 When Might You Want to Use This?
- You need to update or replace the asset on a review.
- You want to generate or edit subtitles for a video.
- You need to change a review's status, delete it, or clone it to another product.
🪜 Getting Started
- In the Products tab, navigate to the product containing the review you'd like to edit.
- Click into the review you want to open.
This opens the original form you filled out when creating the review — including the tagged product, creator, and playlist — along with additional management options described below.
🎬 Asset Toolbar
Above the video or photo, you'll find the following options:
Button | What It Does |
|---|---|
Eye icon | Hides the asset from the review. Click again to unhide it. |
Download Asset | Downloads the asset directly to your computer. |
Replace Asset | Opens your file browser so you can select a new asset to replace the current one. |
Delete Asset | Opens a confirmation window asking if you're sure. You can cancel or confirm the deletion. |
Adding Subtitles
Clicking Add Subtitles opens a side panel where you can generate subtitles directly from the video's audio. From here, you can:
- Edit the generated subtitles if anything was transcribed incorrectly
- Run a vocabulary check
- Regenerate the subtitles
- Download the transcript
- Mark the subtitles as Human Verified once you've finished reviewing them
Setting a Video Thumbnail
Clicking Set Video Thumbnail opens a window where you can either select a frame from the video or upload an image from your computer.
- Scroll through the video to find the frame you want, then click Capture Thumbnail.
- You'll see both the active thumbnail and the new one side by side.
- Click Save to apply the new thumbnail, or remove the active one and add a new one instead.
📥 Adding a New Asset
Below the video, you'll find an option to add a new asset. This opens your file browser, where you can upload additional videos or images to the review.
✏️ Editing Review Details
From this same window, you can also update the details originally set when the review was created:
- Tagged Products — Remove the current tagged product and tag a new one, or tag additional products.
- Show on Other Products — Display this review on other products in addition to the one it's currently on.
- Playlist — Assign this review to a playlist.
- Display Label — Update or change the display label shown under the video.
- Text Review — Edit the star rating, title, or description.
- Public Response — Add or update a public response to the review.
🔄 Changing Review Status
Use the status dropdown to change the review's status to any of the following:
- Approved
- Draft
- Rejected
- Admin Rejected
- Needs Creator Changes
- Needs Admin Changes
- Needs Admin Review
⚙️ Settings
Next to the close button, click Settings to access advanced options:
Delete Review Opens a confirmation window. Deleting a review also deletes all associated assets, and this action cannot be undone.
Clone Review Opens a window where you can copy this review onto another product. This is especially useful for bundles or multi-product sets that include a product with existing reviews.
To clone a review:
- Choose the storefront to clone to (defaults to your current storefront).
- Search for and select the product you want to clone this review onto.
- Choose the status you'd like the cloned review to have.
- Optionally, check Replace placeholder variant tags with target only — this removes the tag for the current product and tags the review only with the product you're cloning it to.
- Click Clone.
The review will now appear on the selected product.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
I deleted a review by mistake
- Deleting a review is permanent and removes all associated assets. There's no way to undo this — you'll need to re-upload the asset and recreate the review.
My subtitles have errors
- Edit them directly in the subtitle panel, or use Regenerate to create a new version. Run the vocabulary check to catch commonly mistranscribed terms.
The cloned review still shows the original product tag
- Make sure you checked Replace placeholder variant tags with target only before clicking Clone if you only want the new product tagged.
I can't find the Settings button
- It's located next to the close button on the review's editing window.
