Hi Fanilo,
Thanks so much for sharing this feedback, and I'm sorry to hear the new form finalization flow is causing issues for you and your team.
The easiest way to avoid this issue would be to add a final question to be filled out by the supervisor. The question could be yes/no if the submission was reviewed or the reviewer's initials. The reviewer needs to open each submission anyway, so hopefully, that won't be too much additional work. In this case, it would be up to the supervisor to finalize.
I'm also curious to know what you think about this thread about bulk finalization for those with workflows in which new information may be identified at any time? We've also updated the docs about bulk finalization. Let us know what you think.
