# Reviewing and Approving Changes

> Read what testers said, answer Reddy's questions, and approve the change plan before anything ships

When a round closes, Reddy reads the feedback and proposes a change. Nothing changes until an approver signs off. This page walks through that review from the closed round to the next one. Setting up testers and rounds is covered in [Testers and Rounds](/manual/training/testers-and-rounds).

<Note>
  Only the program's approvers see Reddy's reading, its questions and its plan. Approvers are the simulation's creator plus anyone added under **Approvers** on the Settings tab.
</Note>

## When the round closes

Once every tester has met their runs, Reddy reviews the round. If it needs to know more before proposing a change, the update tile reads **Awaiting answers** and approvers see **Answer the agent's questions**.

</Frame>

## Reddy's reading of the round

The button opens the round's **Feedback** page. At the top, **Reddy's reading of this round** summarises what testers said and lists each finding with a verdict:

* **Change**: something Reddy proposes to fix, with the change it has in mind
* **Unclear**: something it heard but will not act on

Every thumb and survey answer from the round is listed underneath, so you can check the reading against what was actually said.

A manager who is not an approver sees that an update is under way, but not the reading.

## Answering the questions

**Answer the questions** opens a two-step wizard: **Questions**, then **Change plan**. Reddy asks one question at a time with suggested answers and the one it recommends. Click an answer to move on, or **None of these. I'll write my own** to type your own.

</Frame>

After the last answer Reddy drafts the plan. This takes a minute or two.

## The change plan

The plan is written for you, not for engineers: a summary, each change as **Now**, **After** and **Why**, and what happens to grading.

<Frame>

</Frame>

* **Apply changes** approves the plan. Reddy updates the simulation as written and ships it through the usual checks and deploy.
* **Request changes** sends it back. Describe what should be different and click **Update plan**. Reddy redrafts, and everything you asked for so far is listed above the new plan.

Applying asks you to confirm.

<Tip>
  Changed your mind about the whole review? **Start over** on the round card discards the questions and the plan and reads the round again from the start.
</Tip>

## While it ships

The round card reads **Updating simulations** and the update tile **Running**. This usually takes one to two hours. Testers' lessons stay locked until the new version is live.

</Frame>

## The next round

When the update lands, the next round opens on the new version and testers are notified. The update tile shows **Last shipped** with the **Report** Reddy wrote and the **Plan** you approved. The shipped change is also a new version on the Changes tab; see [Versions and Audit Trail](/manual/training/changes-and-versions).

**Full results** shows the trend across rounds: thumbs down per 10 runs, average survey rating, the share rated 8 or higher, and every comment.

When a round comes back clean, Reddy records that nothing needs to change and the Testing tab suggests graduating. See [Graduating to Trainees](/manual/training/graduating-to-trainees).

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I edit the plan text myself?">
    Use **Request changes** to tell Reddy what should be different. It redrafts, and your requests stay listed above the plan so the history is clear.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if I disagree with a finding marked Change?">
    Ask for it to be dropped in **Request changes**, or answer the related question to steer it. Findings you dismiss are remembered so Reddy does not raise them again from the same feedback.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Nobody answered the questions. What happens?">
    The round waits. Testers' lessons stay locked until an approver answers or someone kills the round. Approvers are notified in the app when questions or a plan are waiting on them.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I find an old plan or report?">
    On the simulation's **Changes** tab, or under **Previous rounds** on the Testing tab.
  </Accordion>
