Reviewing organizer responses
Once a client has submitted (or partly filled in) an organizer, you review the responses in the organizer review view. This is where you decide if the data is complete, lock the organizer, or send it back for fixes.
Open from Intake → Organizers and click any row.

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘The header
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | The organizer title (defaults to the template name when sent). |
| Subtitle | Client name, tax year, and sent date. |
| Status badge | Color-coded — blue, amber, green, or red. |
Action bar
Buttons show based on the current status and your permissions:
| Button | When it appears | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Resend | Sent, In progress, or Changes requested. | Fires a fresh email and notification to the client. |
| Mark reviewed | Completed or In progress. | Opens a dialog — you can add optional internal notes — and locks the organizer. Status changes to Reviewed. |
| Request changes | Completed or Reviewed. | Opens a dialog — write a message to the client (required). Status changes to Changes requested and the client can edit again. |
| Unlock for client | Reviewed or Changes requested. | Re-opens for the client without sending a “changes requested” message. Status changes to In progress. |
| Delete | Always, if you have delete access. | Removes the organizer from the list. The client loses access immediately. Answers are kept. |
Mark reviewed is the primary action when the client has submitted. The other buttons are secondary.
The body — sections
Each section from the template renders as a card with a header (section title + optional description) and a list of items. Sections are not collapsible — they all expand on the page.
Question items
For every question:
- The label (with a red
*if required). - Optional help text below the label.
- The client’s answer in the right column.
If the client hasn’t answered, you’ll see:
No answer
(italicized, in a muted color)
How values render:
| Question type | Renders as |
|---|---|
| Text / Email / Long text | The text verbatim. |
| Number | The number. |
| Date | Formatted date. |
| Yes / No | ”Yes” or “No”. |
| Single choice / Dropdown | The selected option label. |
| Multi-select | Comma-separated list of selected options. |
| SSN / EIN | The full value (no masking on the review side). |
| Empty | An em-dash. |
Document items
For every requested document:
- Icon, label (with
*if required), and optional help text. - A status badge.
| Badge | Status | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | Not uploaded yet. | Amber |
| Uploaded | The client uploaded a file. | Green |
| N/A | The client marked “not applicable” with a reason. | Grey |
If uploaded, View document opens the document in the Documents module.
Repeatable sections
Some sections repeat per item — for example, one set of fields per dependent, K-1, or rental property. For repeatable sections:
- The section’s repeat label is used (like “Dependent” or “Rental property”).
- Each repeat shows as “
{repeat label}#1, #2, …” with the items underneath. - The count is driven by how many answers and documents the client submitted at each index.
If a repeatable section has no answers at all, it shows index #1 empty.
Action dialogs
Mark reviewed
Opens when you click Mark reviewed. Asks:
| Field | Required |
|---|---|
| Review notes | Optional. Up to 2,000 characters. Internal — the client never sees them. |
Click Mark reviewed. Status changes to Reviewed. The client is locked out of further edits.
Request changes
Opens when you click Request changes. Asks:
| Field | Required |
|---|---|
| Message to client | Required. Up to 2,000 characters. Shown to the client when they re-open the organizer. |
Example: “Please add the 1099-NEC for your freelance work.”
Click Send to client. Status changes to Changes requested. The client gets a notification and the organizer becomes editable on their side.
Delete
Opens when you click Delete. Confirmation copy:
The client will lose access immediately. Answers and document requests are kept in case you need to recover, but the organizer disappears from the list.
The organizer leaves the list and the client’s access to it stops. The data is preserved if you need to recover later.
