Accept or decline a peer review nomination

When another participant nominates you as a peer reviewer and their manager approves that nomination, you receive a prompt to accept or decline. Accepting commits you to writing that peer review by the cycle deadline.

Before You Begin

  • You must be a participant in the review cycle or otherwise eligible to write peer reviews.
  • A nomination request must have been approved by the nominee's manager before you can act on it.

Steps

  1. Go to Reviews in the left navigation.
  2. Select the active review cycle.
  3. Scroll down to the Peers who have nominated you section.
  4. Locate the nomination you want to act on.
  5. Click Accept or Decline to review next to that person's name.
  6. If you declined, no further action is required.
  7. If you accepted, click Go to peer review to open the peer review form.

> Note: Accept only nominations for people you can provide specific, actionable feedback about. Accepting 3–5 peer reviews is a reasonable limit for most participants.
