Good to know
What a review does and does not say
- A review reports what the registries and societies show today. Registration data moves, so a status can change between reviews.
- Notes does not promise a recovery amount. It names what is missing and helps you fix it.
Run a review before you decide anything else. It is free to see which of your songs carry issues.
