# Edit the reviewers on a review

A review author can edit the reviewers for a review by using the Reviewers Edit button in the review page Information panel. Reviewers are able to join or leave reviews, or to change whether their vote is required or optional.

If the review includes content that is part of a project or branch with Retain default reviewers enabled, the following restrictions apply to the review:

- The voting option for a retained default reviewer can only be changed to a stricter level, you cannot reduce the voting level.
- Retained default reviewers cannot be removed from the review.

Additionally, the following individuals can edit reviewers:

- Users with admin or super privileges.
- If the review is moderated, the moderators.
- If the review is part of a project, but not moderated, all project members.
- If the review is not part of a project, any authenticated user.
