How do I know if I can manually assign reviewers?
A content review in the workflow must be configured to be assignable and the assignor must have at least edit permission for the page or blog post.
In a state with a content review, look for the + Add reviewer button next to the Approve and Reject buttons
If reviewers are already assigned, the add reviewers option is simply a “+” symbol.
The option to manually assign reviewers using the workflow popup is only displayed if the named approval (content review) is configured as assignable in the workflow
