# Reviews

Reviews are a **premium feature**. They turn the magazine area into something interactive in one go — readers rate articles with stars, leave comments and your shop collects valuable trust signals for SEO (star snippets in Google).

## Requirements

* Active **premium licence**.
* In the [Plugin configuration](/en/plugins/blog/create-and-edit-blog-posts/configuration.md) *Enable reviews* is on (default: on).
* Logged-in customer — anonymous reviews are deliberately not supported.

## What's part of a review

* **Stars** — 1 to 5, required.
* **Title** — short headline, optional.
* **Content** — free-text comment, optional.
* **Status** — new, approved or declined.
* **Customer name** — taken automatically from the customer account.
* **Linked article** — every review belongs to exactly one article.

## Moderation in the administration

Open via **Administration → Content → Blog → Reviews**.

You see a list of every incoming review with filters for status, article and customer. Bulk actions let you approve, decline or delete reviews. The detail view lets you edit stars, title, content and status of individual reviews.

**Only approved reviews** appear in the shop and in the Google star snippets.

## In the shop

The review system consists of three elements you can combine freely:

* **Star aggregate** — average rating with stars, review count and a "write a review" call-to-action.
* **Review form** — click-to-pick stars plus title and comment. The form expands on demand from the star element or stands alone as its own block. Login required.
* **Review list** — list of all approved reviews.

The bundled "Blog detail page (PremSoft)" layout already wires all three elements.

## What happens after submission?

A submitted review first lands in the system with status **New**. It is not public yet — you as the shop owner see it in the review list and approve it after a quick check.

## Effect on SEO

Approved reviews trigger a star snippet in the structured data markup of the article detail page. Google can then show those stars directly in the search results — a far better eyecatcher than plain text results.
