Well, I'm sorry to be dense - but I'm going to excuse myself on the basis
that I'm an Alfresco noob - but I am hoping that I can get a quick
explanation on how to upload and check-in  a document that I've finished
reviewing?

I have searched through the documents suggested in Resources, and also the
Alfresco "Help" dialogues, but haven't really found what I'm looking for. Is
it as simple as (1) Check-in the document via "Run Action", and then (2)
Upload the reviewed odt into the workspace? (Although it seems that this
would simply create a duplicate?)

Thanks kindly,
Chad
