Quickly setting default Review filter

AI-generated summary

The discussion is about improving the Review queue filter. Overgrow suggests that clicking the Review link in the sidebar should clear the filter or have a “reset” button for quick adjustments, as the current filter settings are retained even after navigating away. T_Disco agrees with the idea of a reset button. tobiaseigen reminds users to provide more detailed feedback instead of just agreeing with a post. The feedback is appreciated, as the team is actively improving the review queue and values detailed input on interface issues, as noted by tobiaseigen.

I noticed with the latest core version that it’s no longer easy to quickly “reset” the filter in the Review queue. For instance, if I click “flagged posts” in a user’s profile, the filter is permanently set to show only that user’s posts. This means I have to manually identify and revert all non-default settings to return to the usual Review queue view (which is set to display all Pending posts).

Wouldn’t it be better if clicking the Review link in the sidebar automatically cleared the filter? Alternatively, could we have a “reset” button for quick filter adjustments?

+1 for a reset button.

Please don’t write +1 to agree with a post. Adding a like or reaction is enough.

I replied, as I agreed specifically with the reset button suggestion, and not with the suggestion to clear the filter by clicking the Review link. If I agreed with the whole post I would have used a like or a reaction.

OK, that makes sense! In future, please add a sentence or two, then. Discourse is not a chat medium and we like to learn from one another.

We are actively improving the review queue so this feedback is very helpful! The more detail we get about where people are feeling held up by the interface the easier it is for us to figure out which improvements are needed.
