Reputation Management Standard and Pro will detect when the content/star rating on a review from Facebook or Google has been edited by the reviewer. A notification will appear in Reputation Management when either a star rating or material content has been edited in a review so the user can take necessary action.
Why is managing edited reviews important?
Reputation Management is your clients' source of truth for managing their online reputations. When changes occur to their online reviews, Reputation Management should update to reflect those changes and alert the user to these changes so they can take action.
Notifying the user when a review has been edited allows them to update their response if necessary.
How does managing edited reviews work?
1. Upon logging to Reputation Management, the user will see a banner on the Overview page notifying them that the system detects a review has been edited.
2. Click View edited reviews to be taken to that review on the Reviews page. Users can also select the "edited" filter on the Reviews page to see the reviews that have been edited.
3. Once the user has confirmed that the review has been edited, the user will be able to respond to that review. Edited reviews will be marked with an "Edited" badge.
Example: The review below has been (edited about 2 months ago). Users can click on the hyperlinked text in blue and view the review history when a review has been edited.
The screenshot below shows the history of changes in review content, star rating, and date when the rating was changed and the “Live“ tag next to the review means the current view.

The following screen will pop up when no review history is available.
4. Click the pencil icon beside the response to make a change to the review response if required.

FAQ
Q: Why are my business reviews marked as edited, but I see no change in the history?
A: We rely on Google and Facebook to tell us when a review is edited. If a review is marked as edited on their side, we mark the same review edited even if there is no change to content, star rating or reviewer name.
