Overview
If you have noticed that the review text and star rating on an imported review cannot be changed, you are in the right place. This is intentional behaviour in Feedspace, and this article explains the reason behind it and shows you exactly what you can still update. By the end, you will have a clear picture of how to make the most of your imported reviews.
Imported Review Text Is Preserved to Protect Authenticity
When Feedspace imports a review from a public platform such as Google, Trustpilot, or Instagram, it saves the original text and star rating exactly as the reviewer published them. Those two fields are then locked and cannot be edited inside Feedspace.
The reason is straightforward: the words belong to the original reviewer. Changing them, even slightly, would misrepresent what that person actually said about your business. Keeping the content intact ensures that every testimonial you display is an honest, accurate reflection of genuine customer feedback, which is the foundation of trust with your audience.
What Is Locked on Imported Reviews
- Review text: the original written content from the source platform
- Star rating: the score given by the reviewer on the original platform
What You Can Edit Freely on Imported Reviews
While the review content itself stays as published, you have full control over the reviewer’s profile details. These metadata fields can be updated at any time inside Feedspace:
- Reviewer name
- Company name
- Company logo
- Job title
- LinkedIn profile URL
- X (formerly Twitter) profile URL
- Reviewer photo
Updating these fields helps you keep reviewer information accurate and professional, especially when a contact changes their role or company over time, without touching the original review content.
What You Can Do Next
- Open any imported review in Feedspace and update the reviewer name, job title, or photo to keep the profile information current.
- Visit the Feedspace review management section to browse all your imported reviews and see which metadata fields are available to edit.
- Collect new testimonials directly through Feedspace review forms so you have full control over all fields, including the review text, from the start.
