Hello all dear LGs,

I hope all are fine during this situation and stayed at home.

I just wanna know that how to update the status of a particular place during this pandamic which is already reviewed by me?

e.g. if i want to update the extra facility is being provided by one shop during this pandamic which is not permanent facility and if i want to add this info to review then i will have to update my old review. Is that right? Or is there any tab to add this info specially for Covid 19?? I don’t know about it. Please Guide so that many people can get to know about this extra facility is being provided by small businesses in my area.

Thank you.

Stay home… Stay safe…

Hi @Rohan10

What do you mean by “update the status” ?

Your review can of course be edited, but this will not update the status of a business.

What about to edit the information that has changed?

Please check Suggest edits to a place or flag it for removal for more details about how to proceed

Hello @Rohan10
An LG shouldn’t make any update which describes temporary changes in facilities at a place for the following reasons.

  1. The features may be transient. A reviewer can’t make frequent changes on a day to day basis.
  2. The review may not remain on top & thus a visitor to the POI may not notice that.

Instead, if the owner has claimed the place, request the concerned persons to update the information on the current facilities.
Here is an example of how the owner of a claimed place is informing the available services, upfront.

Note the service update. Here the owner can change that dynamically & hence that’s the most appropriate & convenient way to notify.

Nevertheless, if the owner has not claimed the place, you can suggest doing so. If not now, the update would be possible after completing the due process.
