What is Document Feedback?
Document Feedback is a new feature to enhance the current Document Review functionality. This feature will help Career Services provide feedback to students on their documents so they can put their best foot forward in the application process.
The goal of this feature is to help Career Services efficiently manage pending queues to provide students with relevant feedback, without blocking applications on pending documents.
With this feature you can:
- Prioritize pending documents with advanced filters
- Segment students that qualify for feedback with customizable default preferences
- Indicate preferences that mirror job qualifications
- Choose to review particular types of documents

- Select Document Feedback Preferences from the list on the left

- Note: if you leave all options unselected, Document Feedback will be applied to all students

FAQs
- What will happen to students with pending documents if we switch to Document Feedback now?
- Those pending documents will remain in a pending state but moving forward students will be able to apply for jobs with pending documents.
- What will students see when I update the status of one of their documents?
- Students notifications for document feedback are driven by the student’s notification preferences. By default, students will receive an in-app notification when the status of one of their documents is updated, and an in-app and email notification when someone comments on one of their documents.
