gone over
Checked in detail
Gone over describes something that has been examined, reviewed, or traversed.
You go over notes before an exam, go over a contract with a lawyer, or go over the same ground repeatedly in an argument.
To have gone over to the other side is to have defected or switched allegiances.
Something that has gone over well was received favorably: The proposal went over better than expected.
