How to Review a Class Spec as an External Reviewer to the Holly Platform

Updated this week

Video Overview

Reviewing a class specification as an external user on the Holly platform is simple and collaborative. External users don’t need their own Holly account—they access reviews via a special link sent by a colleague with a full account. Here’s how to complete your review efficiently.

Step 1: Locate Class Spec Review Invitation

Find the invite email for the class spec review in your inbox.

Step 2: Open Email + Click on "Review Now Button"

Review the email details. You’ll see which position spec you’re reviewing and which colleague requested your input. Click the Review Now button in the email to open the document in your browser.

Step 3: Read over the Class Spec

Scroll through the document in View Mode. Read the class spec to understand the content.

Step 4: Add Comments

Add comments by clicking on relevant sections. For example, if you want to access a question about the minimum qualifications for a spec, type your thoughts in the comment box. This flags your feedback for the document owner.

Step 5: Make suggestions in suggesting mode

To make direct suggestions, switch to Suggesting Mode. Edit the text directly—your changes will appear as suggestions for the document owner to review.

Step 6: Finish Review

When finished, click the Finish Review button in the top right corner. You can also add an optional note to your colleague summarizing your review. Then click Finish to submit.

Step 7: Review Complete!

You'll see a confirmation message that your review is complete.
