How to edit a review template being used in a review cycle that has been launched
Lattice Reviews enable admins to change and update templates that are currently in use, while maintaining data integrity and being as minimally disruptive to the review process for admins, managers, and employees, as possible.
Before you start
Editing templates in an active review cycle is only possible in Org Chart reviews. Questions cannot be edited in project-based reviews or automated reviews.
Competency, goals, and Lattice default questions in a template also cannot be edited.
