Understanding review states

Where you see review states

The Reviews list groups files into three tabs: Pending reviews, Closed reviews and All reviews. Each row shows the review’s current state as a label.

• Processing - Curia is still extracting data from the contract.
• Ready - extraction is done and the review is waiting for you to open it.
• Closed - the review has been marked closed.

Pending reviews holds everything that is not yet closed, so rows in Processing and Ready both appear there.

Processing

A review enters Processing as soon as you upload the contract. Curia reads the contract and pulls out the data the review needs. This usually takes between 5 and 15 minutes and depends on the size and complexity of the contract.

If you must, you can open a row while it is still Processing and click Start review before extraction finishes; however we recommend you don’t do this. Curia will warn you with a confirmation modal before you proceed: starting early means some fields may still be blank when you land on the first tab and they will not be populated automatically.

Ready

When extraction finishes, the row status shows Ready and the assigned user will be sent an email notification. The review is now waiting for you. Open the row and click Start review on the Preflight tab to begin.

A row stays in Ready until you start the review or close it.

Closed

A review is Closed when it is finished or you have decided not to continue with it. Closed reviews move to the Closed reviews tab.

There are two ways to close a review:

• Download report on the Finalise tab. Curia generates the report and closes the review in the same step. Only mark a review as closed once you have a report you are happy with.
• Mark as closed from the row actions on the Reviews list, when you want to close a review without generating a report.

Reopening a closed review

A closed review is not final. To reopen one, open it from the Closed reviews tab and either:

• Click Mark as ready on the row, or
• On the Finalise tab (where available), set Status to Pending and click Save.

The review returns to Pending reviews and you can keep working on it.

FAQ

How long does processing take?

Between 5 and 15 minutes for most contracts. Larger or more complex files take longer.

Does starting the review early stop processing?

Yes. Extracted fields will not populate your review and you lose the benefits of data matching and rpefilling. You can still fill the fields manually and proceed with the review, but we recommend waiting until processing finishes.

How do I mark a review as closed?

Click Download report on the Finalise tab, or use Mark as closed from the row actions. On accounts that download the report directly from Curia, you can also set Status to Complete on the Finalise tab and click Save.

Can I reopen a closed review?

Yes. Use Mark as ready on the row in the Closed reviews tab, or set Status back to Pending on the Finalise tab and click Save.
