Require human approval before an Agent continues

A review is a decision gate, not a visual checkmark. The Agent publishes a candidate, waits for a structured decision, and continues only after an explicit approval.

Updated August 3, 2026Product documentation
OpenWiki review page with approve, request changes, and reject decisions
Real review surface: the reviewer chooses an explicit decision instead of replying in a separate chat thread.

Start a blocking review

The CLI prints a structured result after the reviewer decides or the wait ends. The review capability link grants more authority than a view link and must be shared only with the intended reviewer.

ow publish ./plan.mdw --review --no-open --timeout 900

Handle every decision explicitly

  1. Approved: continue only within the plan and authority that were reviewed.
  2. Changes requested: revise the source, rebuild the package, and publish a new candidate update.
  3. Rejected: stop the proposed execution path.
  4. Timeout or error: report that no decision was received; never infer approval.

Review an update at the same identity

The current published version remains available while the new candidate is under review. Publishing the candidate appends a formal revision instead of overwriting history.

ow publish ./plan.mdw --update <document_id> --review --no-open --timeout 900

Separate review from browser acceptance

Human approval answers whether the proposed work should proceed. Browser acceptance answers whether the published page renders and behaves correctly. A reliable workflow performs both checks and does not use one as evidence for the other.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does a review timeout count as approval?

No. Timeout, transport errors, request changes, and rejection are all non-approval outcomes.

Should the review capability URL be posted publicly?

No. It grants decision authority and should be shared only with the intended reviewer. Use the view URL for read-only access.

Use the real workflow

Publish what your agent creates.

Give every report, document, or plan its own reader-ready page. Comments, review decisions, and formal revisions can flow back from there.
