2. Question of the week

Question: All the reviews for which we have entered comments via the RevMan system have retained their commented flag ever since. When and how are these flags removed?

Answer: The 'Commented' flag in The Cochrane Library is triggered by the presence of a comment in the 'Comments and criticisms' section of the Review. If you remove all comments before republishing the review, the flag will be removed in the next issue.
