# Review Stage

After starting a new version with change management, you'll enter the **Review** stage. Here, Metaforms generates clarifications for detected changes so you can flag ambiguities, add context, and resolve open questions before applying anything to your scripts.

***

### The Review Screen

When the review stage loads, you'll see:

* **Left:** The **clarification sheet** — a list of system-generated clarifications highlighting potentially ambiguous changes.
* **Right:** Your project files (questionnaire, scripts, quota files) for reference.

### Work Through Clarifications

**Step 1:** Review the generated clarifications. Each one highlights a change that may need further context or a decision.

**Step 2:** For each clarification, you can:

* **Add comments or answers** if you have the context.
* **Resolve** the item once it's addressed.
* **Dismiss** it if no action is needed.

You can also **add new clarifications** manually if additional questions arise, or **delete** ones that are no longer relevant.

**Step 3:** If you need to share clarifications externally (e.g., with a client or PM), click **Export Excel** to download the sheet.

### Move to the Apply Stage

**Step 4:** Once you've addressed all clarifications, click **Done Reviewing Changes** to move to the Apply stage where changes are applied to your scripts.

> **Note:** You don't have to resolve every clarification before moving on — unresolved items will carry over and can block specific questions during the Apply stage until they're addressed.

See[apply-stage](https://help.metaforms.ai/survey-programming-dimensions/change-management/apply-stage "mention") for the next phase.
