Here are the things we look at during a tech review.

• Friendly URL
• Tags
• All links have the correct metadata added
• All links work and go to the right content
  • PDF full-text links or other full-text links open the correct content
• All links open in a new window (which is the system default)
• All videos have transcripts and closed captioning (CC)
• Each tab looks right in the preview
  • No spacing issues
  • Floating boxes are checked in appropriate spots, including the image and citation standards boxes
  • The citation standards box is at the bottom of every page for LRRs
  • No visible code
  • The image is not too big
  • Embedded video images are even and look good
• The CSS is correct if there are embedded videos

Before submitting your page for review or when reviewing someone else's page, here are some things to check.

Page Structure

• The MyPhoenix (edit) template has been used unless otherwise instructed.
• Subjects and tags have been assigned as appropriate.
• Friendly URLs have been assigned to all student-facing guides.
• Sub-pages are kept to a minimum.
• The page looks pleasing to the eye.

Content

• All links work.
• The text has correct spelling and grammar (use Grammarly to check).
• The citations are formatted correctly.
• There is an image or other visual component included on the page. Photos should include alt text and, if appropriate, be set to decorative (i.e., so that screen readers do not read it).
• Assets are reused when applicable.
• The content's source code has no strange fonts or unnecessary CSS.
• Bullet points are favored over large blocks of text.
• Content is balanced on the page (i.e., no long columns or large amounts of white space).

If you are creating a guide that is not an LRR or cannot publish your guide yourself, you will need to submit your guide for review.

1. Click Unpublished, Private, or Published in the upper right-hand corner of the guide.
2. Select Change Status & Share.
3. Select Submit for Review from the Publication drop-down.
4. Click Save and then Close.
