Line Review (Range Review)
A line review (or range review) is the cross-functional meeting where design, merchandising, and planning walk the season’s line board together to add, cut, and adjust styles before the range is locked for buying.
The line review is the decision moment the board is built for. Everyone sees the same range at once, and edits — dropping a weak option, adding a price-tier filler, rebalancing a category — are made against the whole picture rather than one tab at a time.
Reviews go faster and hold better when the board is live: an option cut in the review should update the option count and the plan immediately, not wait for someone to reconcile three files afterward.
Canvas — the visual line board inside RetailNorthstar — puts these on one connected board, live against the plan from board to buy.
