What does re-evaluate all articles in this project means?
Re-evaluation of the articles allows all articles to be reviewed based on the recent changes. This might be necessary if you need to update the number of reviews required per article.
To update the Workflow settings, follow the below steps:
Open “Settings” from the sidebar on the left.
Click on “Workflow” to access the latest settings:

If you keep "Number of reviews required per article" as 1, the article will undergo screening once and then be moved to the next stage or Excluded based on the reviewer's decision. This approach is more aligned with a Targeted Literature Review (TLR), where the focus is on quickly identifying relevant articles based on specific criteria.
If you change "Number of reviews required per article" from 1 to 2, "Update" & "Evaluate articles", the articles reviewed will not progress to the next stage or be Excluded until they are reviewed by another reviewer. This approach is more closely associated with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), where multiple reviewers independently assess the relevance and eligibility of articles to ensure a more rigorous and comprehensive review process.
If conflicts arise between the decisions of the reviewers, they can be resolved by the third reviewer. The process for resolving conflicts is explained in the "Who can resolve conflicts?" section.
