<div dir="ltr">If the tickets in question don't have a link to the newer ticket, then sometimes such tickets will get closed as "not-approved" rather than as "newer-version-uploaded". It is the responsibility of the Theme developer to add the comment with a link to the newer ticket, in order to maintain their place in the queue.<div>
<br></div><div style>That said: a ticket should not be closed, period, until it is being reviewed. A reviewer closing a ticket as "newer-version-uploaded" should only do so when subsequently claiming that newer ticket, for review. The only exception is for "newer version, consecutive ticket", which we sometimes close as a matter of housekeeping, if doing so has no impact on the Theme's place in the queue.</div>
