# Manual Review activity

> Send documents for verification in your processing workflow.

The **Manual Review** activity lets operators verify documents in your processing workflow.

## Verification modes

Choose a verification mode in the **Actions** pane:

* **All** — All documents must be verified.
* **With rule errors, uncertain fields, or unknown type** — Only verify documents that have rule errors, fields with low-confidence characters, or unknown document types.
* **None** — No documents are sent to review.

## Manual Review client

ABBYY Vantage provides a Manual Review client for reviewing data extraction and document classification results. For instructions on using the client, see [Manual Review client](/vantage/documentation/runtime/manual-review/manual-review).

## Scenarios

The **Manual Review** activity supports three common scenarios:

* [Review data extraction results](#review-data-extraction-results)
* [Review document classification and data extraction results](#review-document-classification-and-data-extraction-results)
* [Review document classification results](#review-document-classification-results)

### Review data extraction results

Use this scenario when you have a single document type and want operators to verify the accuracy of extracted data. No classification is required.

</Frame>

For more information, see the [Extract activity](/vantage/documentation/skill-designer/process/extract-activity).

### Review document classification and data extraction results

Use this scenario when you have multiple document types that need both classification and accurate data extraction. Operators verify both the class assigned by the **Classify** activity and the data extracted by the **Extract** activity.

</Frame>

For more information, see the [Classify activity](/vantage/documentation/skill-designer/process/classify-activity) and the [Extract activity](/vantage/documentation/skill-designer/process/extract-activity).

### Review document classification results

Use this scenario when you have multiple document types that need to be classified — for example, to route documents to specific company departments — but don't need data extraction. Operators verify only the classification results.

<Warning>
  Each **Manual Review** activity must be preceded by an **Extract** activity — even if no data extraction is required — or the Process skill can't be published.
</Warning>

To set up a placeholder **Extract** activity:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create empty Document skills">
    In the **Extract** activity, create as many empty Document skills as you have document classes.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Map skills to classes">
    Map each Document skill to its corresponding class from the **Classify** activity. See the [Extract activity](/vantage/documentation/skill-designer/process/extract-activity) for details.
