How it's used
Focuses on the formal process of vetting or auditing content, documents, or qualifications. Unlike the more casual check or look over, this implies an official or systematic review by an authority figure or a governing body. It carries a heavier, more bureaucratic weight than simple inspection.
Examples
This movie has to go through strict censorship before it can be released.

Learners often confuse this with 檢查, which is a general term for checking or inspecting something for physical defects or health. 審查 is specifically for evaluating the content, validity, or appropriateness of information or credentials.
