“All instances of this item” should be made the default view, when looking at the review history notes within each item in Reviews 2.

This cross-list functionality where the Acquisitions team can see each other’s review notes is one of the improved aspects of Reviews 2.

Being able to view notes on "All Instances of this item" saves time, particularly with multiple lists submitted for review by the same owner, where there is considerable crossover of the same texts appearing on different lists, and the Acquisitions decision has already been made.

Having it as the default view, instead of just "this item":

• would mean one less click for the reviewing process
• would maximise the effectiveness of the visibility of the review notes for working in teams
• would cut down on duplication of effort and labour from the acquisitions team, on hard to find / out of print etc items.

Having just "This item" as the default view seems pointless. I cannot think of any occasion where someone from the Acquisitions team would -not- want to see the review notes on the same item from other lists.
