"In-Review" status on my replies.
Hello,
I started contributing to this forum a few years ago, but lately I've noticed that every reply I make is placed in the "In-Review" status.
This status lasts approximately 24 hours and is then removed.
- What does this status mean?
- Why does it happen?
- Does the same situation happen to other contributors or just me?
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers me.

Oh dang, I actually thought this was trying to address my complaint about the unseen and unknown moderation that was happening on posts:
But I did notice that even though that "In Review" tag seems to be permanently on all my posts people obviously see them as they do reply to them
Ok SergeiBaklan, I hope a solution to this problem is found as soon as possible.
Thank you for your comment and time.
It shows on my posts, too. If you check "Under Review" in your profile, there's likely no items there. Mine is empty so I don't think it's actually being reviewed.
Hi Patrick2788,
Mine is empty too! So I don't understand what's going on with setting that status.
However, thank you for your reply.
How's this for a hypothesis: Microsoft is using AI to check and make sure the postings aren't created by AI
Hi mathetes,
This hypothesis may be true, but I have been contributing for years, not only to this forum but also to other Microsoft forums (I have also contributed to the Microsoft Support Community (for more than 10 years) which is now finally closed).
Meanwhile, I do not use AI to give my Excel answers / replays. Today I made a post and immediately the status was set to In Review. Also, the post in this thread that I am responding to here was also set to In Review. So in both of today's posts this status was set. One post contains the Excel formula that I created and the current post contains just text.
This does not seem correct to me!
(the In Review status has now been removed from both of my last posts)
Anyway, thank you for your comment / opinion. I appreciate it very much.
Have a nice day.
Oh, let me be clear. I was not in any way accusing you of using AI in your posts. Like you, I've been contributing in this forum for years, and just recently noticed the "In review" tag on some of mine. So it was purely a hypothesis for users in general. The subsequent post by SergeiBaklan gives the actual reason: it's a bug!!
I have noticed that in recent months there seem to be far fewer questions from new or novice users seeking help, and I strongly suspect that's because new Excel users now have access to Claude, ChapGPT and even Microsoft's own built-in AI assistant.
Happened to me as well. That is new to me.
Let me check what happens with my reply to you...
