Locking a review cycle means that users will no longer be able to submit reviews or edit any settings (due dates, visibility, transparency, etc) within the cycle. This should only be done when the review cycle is fully completed and all summary meetings have been held. Review administrators and cycle collaborators can lock a cycle.
Note
When locking a cycle, you will be asked if you would like to 'Release all unreleased reviews to teammates' before actually locking. Checking this box will share and finalize all submitted peer, manager, and upward reviews to each participant in the cycle whose results have not yet been shared.
