> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/applicant/shared-assessments.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

> This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

An organisation can share the assessments of an application with you after it has been assessed,
for example as feedback. `Shared Assessments` appears in the menu on the left once the
organisation has shared at least one assessment with you or your organisation. Until then there is
nothing to show, and the item is not in the menu.

Every member of the organisation you applied as sees the assessments shared with it.

`Assessment`, `Application`, `Assessment Round` and `Assessor` are your organisation's own terms if
you've renamed them.

## The list

`Shared Assessments` lists the assessments shared with you, the most recently shared first, 25 to
a page. Each row shows:

- the `Application`, by its title and reference number;
- the `Assessment Round` it was assessed in;
- `Shared`, the date it was shared with you;
- the `Assessor` who wrote it, or `Not shared` when the organisation chose not to share the
  assessor's name.

On a phone each row is shown as a card. Select an application to read its assessment.

## Reading a shared assessment

A shared assessment is a read-only copy. Nothing on the page can be changed, and `Back` returns
you to the list.

You see only what the organisation chose to share:

- **Questions.** Only the sections and questions the organisation has marked for sharing are
  shown. If none of them are, the page says
  `No shared responses are available for this Assessment.`
- **Scores.** `Scores` lists each shared question's score and a `Total Score` of those questions
  alone. When the organisation shares an assessment without its scoring, there is no `Scores`
  section at all.
- **The assessor.** The assessor's name appears under the title only when the organisation shares
  it.

## Verifiers and institutions

An organisation can also share assessments with a verifier, such as an institution that reviews
applications on the organisation's behalf. Every member of that verifier sees them under
`Shared Assessments` in the Verifier Portal, in the same list and with the same read-only page.
The Verifier Portal has no Help Centre of its own, so this article covers it too.
