# Action item collaborator synchronization with Smart Assessment

# Action item collaborator synchronization with Smart Assessment {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
When users are assigned to a recovery action item, they are automatically synced as collaborators on the linked Smart Assessment instance.

When an action item of type Assessment transitions to Work in progress, a linked Smart Assessment Engine instance is created. The users assigned to the action item are synced as the assessor and collaborators on that instance.

## Assessor assignment {#action-item-collaborators-smart-assessment-sync-events__assessor_assignment}

User in the action item's Assigned to field becomes the assessment assessor. If Assigned to is empty, the assignment group manager becomes the assessor.

This applies both when the assessment is created and after the action item is updated.

## Collaborator sync {#action-item-collaborators-smart-assessment-sync-events__collaborator_sync}

The following users are added to assessment collaborators:

* Users from Additional assignee list
* Members of the assignment group
* Assignment group manager (unless already the assessor)

Note:  
The current assessor is excluded from the collaborator list.
