## Overview

ReviewBoard for WooCommerce is a lightweight admin-side review moderation workflow board for WooCommerce stores.

It helps store owners, shop managers, support teams, and agencies review WooCommerce product reviews from one focused admin screen. Instead of changing the storefront or adding review marketing tools, it keeps the workflow simple: find pending reviews, triage low ratings, track reply status, add private internal notes, and export review data to CSV.

This plugin is intentionally built for review moderation, not review marketing. It does not change the frontend review display, does not send review request emails, does not generate AI replies, and does not connect to external review services.

## Key use cases

- Review pending WooCommerce product reviews from one admin board

- Track whether a review needs a reply, has been replied to, or does not need a reply
- Add private internal notes for store staff

- Jump directly to the related product edit screen

- WooCommerce store owners
- Shop managers

- Agencies managing WooCommerce stores
