### Setup for a Peer Review
- [ ] Confirm with UX Lead that this document needs a peer review.
- [ ] Check if the Issue Overview clearly defines why this document needs to be created or updated. If it is not clear, add that information to the overview in 1-2 sentences.
- [ ] In the Resources, clearly identify the link to the document being created or updated that requires a peer review (use subheadings if needed).
- [ ] Copy and paste the Action Items for Peer Review into a comment of the issue.
- [ ] Customize the Action Items according (adding items that are more relevant to this issue and removing items that are less relevant).
- [ ] If you have a specific task that you want the Peer Reviewer to accomplish for their peer review that is nuanced to your issue, add that as a final action item to the list.
- [ ] For a spreadsheet review, add a column and label it "Peer Reviewer Questions and Feedback." If this step is not needed, remove this step.
- [ ] Determine who will do the peer review and unassign yourself to this issue and assign the peer reviewer to this issue.
