After you've held a calibration session, it is time to lock the session. Locking a session means that no additional changes can be made to answers, and calibrated answers will appear in manager reviews and summaries. After locking a calibration session, anyone with access to the session can still leave, edit, and delete comments in the calibration session's activity feed.

Lock a calibration session
Note
Calibration sessions must be completed and locked before the "Calibrations due by" milestone. If you need to extend this milestone, you can do so by editing the review cycle.
- Click on Best-Self Review® in 15Five's main, left-hand navigation.
- Click on the name of the active review cycle you want to create a calibration session in.
- Open the "Calibrations" tab using the top navigation.
- Click on the name of the calibration session you want to lock.
- Click Lock session at the top, right-hand corner of the page.
- A warning box will appear. If you agree with the listed implications, click Lock session.
- Upon locking the session, no additional changes can be made and managers will be able to see updated answers in their manager reviews. Anyone with access to the session can still add, edit, and delete comments in the calibration session's activity feed.
What happens next?
Managers can begin sharing calibrated results with their direct reports on the "Start sharing on" milestone.
