3. Click on link to "Edit Composite Review".
4. Edit the review as needed.
   
5. Select "Send to Author" from the options at the bottom of the review form.
6. The tool to edit and send a letter to the author comes up. The body of the letter contains the default review letter to the author, with the Composite Review included at the end.

Notes:

1. Only Editors have the options to "Send to Author" or "Post" composite reviews.
2. This tool can also be accessed from the list of items with "Composite Reviews Completed" available in the Discipline Overview table in the Editors' Personal Workspace.
3. Letters can be saved for sending at a later time.
4. "Save as Default" saves the "Subject" and "Body" of the current letter as a default template for all review letters. If used, make sure that the Composite Review of the current item is not included in the default template (remove it before clicking "Save as Default").
