Using the Review Chat in Rayyan

Rayyan’s Review Chat is more than just a place to message your team — it's also your audit trail and collaboration hub, all in one spot. Here's what you can do with it:

🕒 1. Track Every Key Action

The review chat automatically logs all major actions performed in the review — complete with timestamps. This includes:

• Uploading references

• Deleting references

• Detecting and auto-resolving duplicates

• Exporting files

• And more...

This makes it easy to keep track of who did what, and when.

💬 2. Communicate with Your Team

Use the chat to discuss screening progress, raise questions, or share decisions. It's a handy way to stay aligned without leaving the review.

🟢 3. See Who’s Online

Wondering if your teammates are around? The review chat shows the online/offline status of each collaborator so you know when someone’s available to reply.
