## Task review

Each task on a Service includes:

* `ready`: `true` when the task has been sent to Bridge for review.
* `inReviewAt`: the time the task was most recently sent for review, or `null` when it is still in the partner queue.

Only the generic `TRIAGE` task can be marked ready. Use [Set Ready](/api/api-reference/services/set-ready-service) with `ready: true` to send it to Bridge. Send `ready: false` to return it to your queue. This does not resolve the task or change the Service status.

For every other task type, fix the issue described above. Bridge reevaluates the Service and removes the task when the underlying issue is resolved.

## Deprecated Tasks

The `REPLACE_NOTE` task is no longer used, and a Note cannot be deleted. All updates should be [NoteAddenda](/api/api-reference/notes/create-note-addendum), identified by the `UPDATE_NOTE` task.
