The green ticks in the phase indicate that this part of the phase is complete.
The grey ticks indicate that you can add information.
The red cross means a task needs to be completed.
The "Description" you wrote in the settings will appear below and be visible to students.
In the Setup phase you will have a chance to review some of the options you would have encountered in the settings of the Workshop.
When you have completed the Setup phase then you can click on Switch to the next phase link. This will then move to the Submission phase and allow students to submit (if the date/time settings allow them to).

In this page you can assign reviewers to participants using the "Add reviewer" dropdown menu.
You can also select the participants' reviewees by using the "Add reviewee" dropdown menu.
