Set a status
Setting a status is useful for keeping track of comments that you have read or that
require further action. You can use the status to indicate which comments you want
to accept, reject, cancel, complete, defer, or mark for future consideration.
By setting the review status, you can show or hide a certain set of comments, and let
review participants know how you are going to handle the comment. Once the review
status is set, you cannot remove the review status display from history in the Review
History list, even if you change the review status to None.
