Flagging Documents: What to Flag and Why

What should you do if you find that most of the file you've just downloaded is written in Wingdings? The flag feature allows you to alert Team Kibin in those rare instances when something's not quite right with a document. Clicking the blue flag icon will pop open the modal to flag a document for administrator review:

Although flags aren't common, a document may be flagged for a number of reasons. The most frequent issues are listed on the modal:

Simply check the reason for the flag -- you can select more than one if needed -- and provide any additional context in the message box. The flag icon will turn black and white when a document downloaded to your queue has an active flag. 

Check out the misclassified documents section of Kibin Editing Segments and Classifications for more info on flagging misclassified documents. 

Scenarios that would require using the "other" flag: 

• The author is asking for a service outside of editing (i.e., “please rewrite my paragraphs to address my teacher’s comments.”)
• The author is overtly cheating (i.e., “I need this grammar test to be perfect.”)
• The content of the user's comments or the document makes you uncomfortable or could be considered abusive, unlawful, etc. (though use your best judgment and remember that we're all adults here)

Once you flag a document, do not release it back into the queue. If you do, all the editors and their kids will keep picking up the document, flagging it, and dropping it, creating an endless loop of emails to Team Kibin and document alerts to your fellow editors. Flag it and leave it be; we’ll take care of it as soon as possible and get in touch with you via email or Slack.

...unless you need to unflag it. If you have a "D'oh!" moment and realize you didn't need to flag it at all, simply click the greyed-out flag icon and click "Clear flag" in the pop-up window. Easy-peasy.
