Troubleshooting

Why is a review not on the storefront?

Check approval status and whether the theme or app displays reviews for that product.

Why is a control missing or unavailable?

Confirm that you are in the correct store and that your role allows this action. Optional apps and channels may require installation, a plan, or activation. Share the screen name and error with support if access is still unclear.
