"In Review" means what? Can't message Allen"

I am a VM in Q&A (Office) and have been a participant here in the Word Community for some time. Recently I've notice the tag "In Review" on my posts. Here is an example: https://techcommunity.mi...

Hi, "In Review" usually means the post is being held by moderation or an automated review workflow before it is fully visible or acted on.

A few harmless things to try:

1. Wait a bit and refresh the page later.

2. Avoid editing the same post repeatedly while it is being reviewed.

3. Check whether links, screenshots, or repeated edits triggered review.

4. If private messages are not sending, try another browser or disable extensions.

5. If the status stays stuck, note the post URL and share the details in the appropriate Tech Community help area.

It does not necessarily mean you did anything wrong. Sometimes normal posts get caught by moderation filters.

Hi Jamony,

I don't believe any of the above apply.

These "In Reviews" were not there until about

Mid June are after. I'm also a VM on Q&A.

I believe it's a Tech Comm. issue. I did manage

to get an message sent to Allen.

These In Reviews are only visible to us if

we are signed in, if we are signed out we

can't see them.
