The Review section of a report contains results that Xapien thinks might be about your subject but doesn't have enough confidence to include in the main report on its own. Confirming from Review lets you take the final call - bringing relevant results into the report or dismissing those you're confident aren't your subject.
This article walks you through what the Review section contains, how to confirm or dismiss a result, what happens to your report when you do, and the current limitations.
ℹ️ Who is this for?
Confirming from Review is available to all users on reports run on or after 3 April 2026. It isn't available on older reports - if you need to use it on a subject you've already researched, you'll need to re-run the report.
What's in the Review section
When Xapien gathers information about your subject, some of what it finds is clearly about them and goes straight into the main report. Other results are plausibly about your subject but ambiguous - same name, similar context, but not enough to include with confidence.
Rather than guess, Xapien places these in the Review section so you can apply your own judgement. From here you have two options for each result:
Confirm - the result is about your subject, and its content should be brought into the main report
Dismiss - the result isn't about your subject, and should be moved out of the way
Confirming a result into the report
When you confirm one or more results, Xapien brings their content into the report and rewrites any sections that reference the new information so everything stays consistent. Key Details, section overviews, and the executive summary all update where relevant.
A few things to know about how this works:
You can keep working in the report while it updates. You don't get sent to a separate regeneration screen - the report updates in the background while you continue reading. New confirm or dismiss actions are paused until the current update finishes.
The user who confirmed each result is recorded on the result card, so it's always clear who approved the inclusion of additional information. This is especially useful in regulated sectors where auditable records of what was reviewed matter.
Ask Xapien picks up the new content immediately - you can ask follow-up questions about confirmed results as soon as the update finishes, with full sourcing.
Spotting what's changed
After a confirmation, Xapien clearly signposts what's new in the report:
Newly added text in the report body is underlined so you can see exactly which content has been added
A persistent "New info" indicator appears on each updated section, and on the side navigation, so it's clear at a glance where the changes live
Clicking the "New info" indicator jumps you straight to the first piece of new content in that section - especially helpful for subjects with a large media footprint where new information could otherwise be easy to miss
These indicators stay in place even if you refresh, exit, or move around the report, until you dismiss them manually
In some cases, a confirmed result won't add new content to the report - for example, if it doesn't meet the criteria of any report section, or if it overlaps with content Xapien has already included. When this happens you'll see a banner letting you know. The result has been resolved from Review; it just didn't add anything new.
Dismissing a result
If you're confident a result isn't about your subject, dismiss it. Dismissed results move into a Dismissed area within Review and the body of your report stays unchanged.
Changed your mind? You can reconsider dismissed results at any time and confirm one back into the report - useful if a profile was incorrectly categorised or new context comes to light.
Working through Review
The Review section is built to be straightforward to work through:
Adaptive descriptions - the framing changes depending on whether one or many results need attention
"Apply Review" button stays visible as you cycle through results, so you can keep track of how many you've reviewed and commit your selections when you're ready
Information popups throughout - so it's always clear what will happen at each step
Things to note
No undo - once a result has been confirmed into the report, it can't currently be removed. The ability to discard claims from a report is coming in a future product update.
Related Entities section doesn't update - only the main report body is rewritten when you confirm a result. Updates to Related Entities are planned for a future product releases.
Available on reports run on or after 3 April 2026 - it isn't possible to confirm from Review on older reports.
Confirming is paused while a confirm is in progress - you can keep reading the report, but you'll need to wait for the current update to finish before confirming or dismissing more results.
