Deleting an Online Critique

IMPORTANT: This topic is for Online Critiques only, which is a pilot of new functionality available to a limited subset of reviewers at this time.

You can delete an online critique from the system. In certain situations, you can have two different versions of an online critique, and you can choose to delete either or both versions; see Why You Might Have Two Critiques below. If you only have one version, and you delete that version, you will be left with a blank online critique. You can initiate a delete of an online critique from the List of Applications screen or from the Online Critique screen.

NOTE:  You cannot delete a submitted critique in while in the EDIT Phase.

To delete an online critique:

1. Initiate an online critique in one of the following two ways:
   • If you have previously submitted or saved the critique, click the delete link in the Action column on the List of Applications screen.
   • If you are working in the Online Critique screen on a saved or submitted critique, click the Delete button in the gray summary box at the top of the screen.

NOTE: The Delete button does not appear the first time you access an online critique. To delete a new critique that you just started, you must first Save & Exit, then return to the critique, then you can use the Delete button to delete it. Alternatively, you can refresh the browser page and then click the Edit button to access the Delete button.

2. Mark the checkbox of the critique version(s) that you wish to delete and click the Delete button.
3. A second, similar Delete Critique/Score screen with the following alert appears:

4. Click the Continue button in the second Delete Critique/Score screen and the selected critique(s) are deleted.

If you now return to the critique, you see the following:

• If you had both a submitted and a draft version, and you delete the draft, you see the submitted version.
• If you had both a submitted and a draft version, and you delete the submitted, you see the draft version.
• If you had both a submitted and a draft version, and you delete both, you see a completely blank online critique.
• If you had only one version to choose from, and you delete it, you see a completely blank online critique.

Why You Might Have Two Critiques

You might have two critiques in the following scenario:

1. You click the submit link on the List of Applications screen and fill out a critique, then you click the Submit button and submit it.
   You now have a Submitted version in the system.
2. You then return to a copy of the submitted application by again clicking the submit link on List of Applications screen, then you click the Edit button and make changes.
   You now also have a Draft version with the new changes.
   The Submitted version remains the same as when you last submitted it. At this point, if you want to save your edits in the Draft version, you must click the Submit button again in the online critique and submit the draft, which will overwrite the previously submitted version.

If you then click the delete link on the List of Applications screen, or the Delete button on the Online Critique screen, the Delete Critique/Score screen appears, and you will see both versions, outlined in red below:

If you just want to see the versions you have and their save date, you can initiate a Delete, but click Cancel in the above screen without actually deleting anything.
