No special access is needed to validate reports. Anyone in the Training Team can do this.
When you validate a report, you check to see if the report is relevant. Sometimes a fix may have already been applied to the content, or the report was just spam. In these cases, the report is no longer relevant, and can be closed.
For reference, these are issues with the “Awaiting Validation” status on the LearnWP Content – Feedback project board.
Open any issue, and in a new comment, copy-paste the following check-list:
# Feedback Validation Checklist:
- If this is reporting an issue, can you confirm/reproduce the issue? (Yes or No):
- What should happen next to apply the feedback?:
If the feedback is reporting an issue in the content, confirm if you can still see/reproduce the issue.
If you can, type YES next to the first item in the list you just copied across, and move to step 4.
If you can’t, type NO.
If it looks like the issue has been fixed already, leave a comment with your findings and move to step 5.
If the feedback is unclear, leave a comment explaining what you tried and ask the author for more information. You can do this by @-mentioning the author in your comment.
You can skip steps 4 and 5 below.
Leave a note about what needs to happen next, and press Comment.
For example, if a screenshot needs to be updated and you are able to create the correct screenshot, you can upload that image into your comment, too.
