# Snowplow review guidelines
This page includes introductory material for an
[Analytics Instrumentation](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/analytics/analytics-instrumentation/)
review, and is specific to Snowplow related reviews. For broader advice and
general best practices for code reviews, refer to our [code review guide](../code_review.md).
## Resources for reviewers
- [Snowplow Guide](index.md)
- [Event Dictionary](https://metrics.gitlab.com/snowplow/)
## Review process
We recommend an Analytics Instrumentation review when a merge request (MR) involves changes in
events or touches Snowplow related files.
### Roles and process
#### The merge request **author** should
- For frontend events, when relevant, add a screenshot of the event in
the [testing tool](implementation.md#develop-and-test-snowplow) used.
- For backend events, when relevant, add the output of the
[Snowplow Micro](implementation.md#test-backend-events-with-snowplow-micro) good events
`GET http://localhost:9090/micro/good` (it might be a good idea
to reset with `GET http://localhost:9090/micro/reset` first).
- Add or update the event definition file according to the [Event Dictionary Guide](event_dictionary_guide.md).
#### The Analytics Instrumentation **reviewer** should
- Check that the [event schema](index.md#event-schema) is correct.
- Check the [usage recommendations](implementation.md#usage-recommendations).
- Check that an event definition file was created or updated in accordance with the [Event Dictionary Guide](event_dictionary_guide.md).
- If needed, check that the events are firing locally using one of the
[testing tools](implementation.md#develop-and-test-snowplow) available.
- Approve the MR, and relabel the MR with `~"product intelligence::approved"`.
- If the snowplow event mirrors a RedisHLL event, then tag @mdrussell to review if the payload is usable for this purpose.
