When users share their experiences on TrustProven, their reviews become a part of a transparent feedback system that helps other customers and businesses alike. But what happens if you change your mind after submitting a review? Can you edit or delete a review on TrustProven after it has been posted? In this in-depth guide, we walk you through the full process, rules, and best practices around modifying reviews on the TrustProven platform.

Can You Edit a Review on TrustProven After Posting?

Yes, reviews on TrustProven can be edited, but only under specific conditions. TrustProven values the integrity and authenticity of its content, which is why the platform allows edits, but monitors them carefully to prevent abuse.

To edit your review, you must be the original author and be logged into your TrustProven account. Here are the basic steps:

1. Log in to your TrustProven account using the email and password used to submit your original review.

2. Go to your user dashboard, then click on the “My Reviews” section.

3. Find the review you want to modify, and click the “Edit” button.

4. Make the necessary changes. This could be:

   • Correcting a factual error

   • Updating the experience (e.g., follow-up service)

   • Adjusting your rating based on new developments

5. Save changes by clicking the “Update Review” button.

Once submitted, edited reviews go through an automated verification process to check for authenticity and relevance. In some cases, trustproven.com moderation team may manually review the updated review for compliance with its guidelines. 

What Are the Limitations to Editing a Review?

While TrustProven allows editing, there are certain limitations in place:

• Time Sensitivity: Some edits may only be allowed within a limited timeframe, such as 30 days from the original posting date.

• Review History: In the interest of transparency, edited reviews may be labeled as “Edited” with a timestamp showing the latest change.

• Content Rules: If your edits violate TrustProven's community guidelines—such as including hate speech, personal attacks, or promotional content—the review may be removed entirely.

• Multiple Edits: Excessive editing of the same review may trigger moderation, especially if it seems like manipulation.

Edits should aim to improve clarity or accuracy, not to mislead. TrustProven is serious about upholding trust, and reviews that appear suspicious may be flagged or removed.

Can You Delete a Review on TrustProven?

Yes, you can delete a review, but this option is also regulated to prevent misuse.

To delete a review:

1. Log in to your TrustProven account.

2. Navigate to “My Reviews” in your dashboard.

3. Locate the review you wish to remove.

4. Click the “Delete” icon or link next to the review.

5. Confirm deletion when prompted.

Once deleted, the review is permanently removed from public view. It cannot be recovered. You may, however, write a new review for the same business in the future if your experience changes.

Are There Exceptions Where Reviews Cannot Be Deleted or Edited?

There are few but important exceptions to note:

• Verified Reviews: If your review was part of a verified purchase, TrustProven may restrict deletion unless you provide a valid reason.

• Flagged Reviews: If a review has been flagged for violating terms and is under moderation, you may not be able to edit or delete it until the investigation concludes.

• Legal Hold: In cases involving legal disputes, your review might be placed under administrative hold and cannot be removed manually.

These rules ensure that TrustProven’s review ecosystem remains fair, authentic, and resistant to manipulation.

What Happens After You Edit or Delete a Review?

• After Editing: Your updated review goes live immediately in most cases, unless flagged. An “Edited” tag will appear to show that changes were made.

• After Deletion: The review is removed from the public listing, the rating is recalculated, and your profile will no longer reflect that contribution.

If your review was previously responded to by a business owner, the reply will also be removed when your review is deleted.

Can Businesses Request Review Edits or Deletions?

No, businesses cannot directly modify or delete customer reviews. However, they do have the right to:

• Flag reviews they believe are false, harmful, or spam.

• Request clarifications or ask reviewers to update their feedback through the platform.

• Respond publicly to a review, providing their side of the story.

TrustProven protects consumer rights by keeping businesses from editing or deleting what users write. At the same time, it gives businesses tools to report abuse or unfairness.

What If I Can’t Access My Review Anymore?

If you can’t find or access your review, it may be due to:

• Account issues (e.g., forgotten login credentials)

• Review removal by moderators due to policy violations

• Platform updates that temporarily hide content

You can contact TrustProven Support for help in recovering your review, or understanding why it was removed.

How to Make the Most of Editing Your Review

If you decide to edit your review, make it count. Here are some tips:

• Be clear and concise. Remove any emotional or vague language.

• Explain the reason for your update. For example: “After speaking with customer service, my issue was resolved.”

• Update the rating if your opinion has changed significantly.

• Avoid harsh or accusatory language, even if the experience was negative. TrustProven encourages constructive feedback.

By updating reviews responsibly, you help others make better choices and maintain the trust and reliability of the platform.
