Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ❓

What happens when I remove someone from a review cycle?

When you remove someone from a review cycle, they will no longer have reviews written about them. However, they may still be asked to write reviews about others.

For example, let's say you remove Seth from a review cycle. He won't complete a self-review and no one will be asked to write peer, manager, or upward reviews about Seth. However, Seth will still be asked to write a manager review about his direct report who is still a participant in the review cycle.
