| The Search Product Reviews page displays all of the reviews that have been submitted, allowing you to view and sort them easily. This page also provides options to approve new reviews that have been written and make bulk changes.
By default, the reviews are sorted by their SID (System ID) number in descending order (newest reviews listed first). You can select a different method of sorting by clicking the up and down arrows in each column.

User Type
Reviews may be written by Customers, Guests (customers who are either new or not logged in to the storefront), or Admins.
tip Guests can be prevented from submitting reviews by enabling the Require Purchase module option and using the {IF-REVIEWER-AUTHORIZED-BEGIN} and {IF-REVIEWER-AUTHORIZED-END} QuickCode Tags in the webpage's template.
