Reviews and Scorecards

Choose between manual reviews and MEGAN video reviews

Choose between a trainer-written review and MEGAN video review based on the lesson, available video, and trainer goals.

Manual reviews and MEGAN video reviews can both include trainer feedback, scorecards, and progress updates, but they are useful in different situations.

Manual reviews are trainer-written and do not require a video. MEGAN reviews start from lesson video and provide draft AI-assisted analysis that trainers review before publishing.

When one lesson has several clips for the same rider, use Lesson feedback to select and combine those clip drafts into one published review.

Use a manual review when

  • The trainer does not need video for this lesson.
  • The trainer wants to record structured notes quickly after a lesson.
  • The review is based on in-person coaching notes rather than video moments.
  • The lesson video is unavailable, unclear, or not appropriate to use.

Use a MEGAN video review when

  • The barn is on Trial, Standard, or Premium.
  • A lesson video is available and has finished uploading.
  • The trainer wants moment-based feedback, score suggestions, and video context.
  • Rider tags are correct and the video can be processed before review.
  • The clip needs its own MEGAN draft before it is added to consolidated lesson feedback.

What stays the same

  • The trainer controls the final feedback.
  • Student and parent summaries should be reviewed before publishing.
  • Scorecards can contribute to progress trends when snapshots are created.
  • Sensitive trainer notes should not be placed in rider-visible fields.

Troubleshooting

The Video Review action is unavailable.

Check that the barn is on Trial, Standard, or Premium, the user has review and upload permissions, and the lesson is eligible for video review.

The Manual Review action is unavailable.

Check that the user has lesson review permission. Manual reviews are included on every plan.
