Summary

As an administrator, you may need to cleanup some reviews that are obsolete or in the wrong state. To delete reviews, you normally need to transition them to abandon. Draft reviews are a special case.

Examples

--action runFromList --list CR-3,CR-5 --common "--action transitionReview --review @entry@ --state abandon" --continue

If you need to delete reviews that are not in the abandon state, run the above example first.

Run: --action deleteReview --review CR-3
