What's waiting
➀ Pending. Reviews waiting for your approval, with their count. Awaiting confirmation holds on-site reviews whose writers haven't confirmed their email yet.
➁ Filters. Narrow the queue to one product, as here, or by rating, photos, verified buyers or date.
➂ Pending. The badge on every review that isn't live yet.
➃ Publish, Reply and Archive. Decide right from the list.
Home counts them in Needs attention, and Settings ▸ General ▸ Notifications can email you each new review.
Publish or archive
You click | What happens |
Publish | The review goes live on your store within a minute, and its product's star rating updates. If you use them, the Shop app and Flow's Review published trigger get it too. |
Archive | The review stays off your store and moves to Archived, where you can still read it. |
Publish, on an archived review | It goes live again. |
Reply | Answer before you decide. A public reply shows under the review once it's live. |
Each change goes in the review's timeline, with who made it and when. Reviews rejected in an earlier version of Quoli show Rejected: publish or archive them like any other.

Why a review is waiting
It waits because | Where it's set |
Its rating is below your rating rule, or Skip approval is off for on-site reviews | |
QI held it: its timeline says "QI held this review for your approval because of its wording" | The QI confidence check, in the same article |
QI couldn't check it, so it waits to be safe | The same check |
A review awaiting confirmation can go live before its writer confirms: click Publish on it.
Low ratings
Publish them too. A page of only 5 star reviews reads as filtered, and shoppers trust a store that shows its critics. Reply first, fix what went wrong, then ask the customer to update their review. Archive only what doesn't belong: spam, abuse, or a review of the wrong product.
💡 Tip: Reply to a low rating before you publish it. Shoppers then read the problem and your answer together.
