Editing reviews

Edit minor typos or add images/videos in reviews

Updated over 3 weeks ago

At Judge.me, authenticity is everything. Reviews are powerful because they reflect genuine customer experiences. That said, there may be times when a review contains a typo, missing photo, or personal information that needs updating.

This article explains how to make small edits—such as fixing typos or adding images/videos—while preserving the integrity of the original review.

Considerations

To comply with Shopify's guidelines and and maintain the trustworthiness of reviews:

  • Edits are limited to 30 characters, including deleted characters.

  • The original reviewer will be notified when there's an edit in their review.

What you can edit

Within the 30-character limit, you can:

  • Correct typos or grammatical errors

  • Clarify wording for better understanding

  • Add a photo or video to enhance the review

What can't be edited

For collected reviews, these fields cannot be changed:

  • The Reviewer name

  • The rating of the review

  • The date the review was submitted

Instead:

  • You can send a Review Update Request to ask the reviewer to change their rating, name, or feedback.

  • If you have set up Judge.me in Shopify's Customer Account, customers can also edit their reviews there.

Edit a review

To edit a review:

  1. From your Judge.me admin, go to Manage Reviews > Reviews Dashboard.

  2. Find the review you want to edit.

  3. Click the 3-dot icon (...) and select Edit review.

  4. Make your changes (up to 30 characters) and click Send email.

Once you've clicked Send email, we'll notify the reviewer with the following email (the email content is fixed and cannot be customized):

From address

Body
