Reopen a Review

Admins have the ability to reopen submitted or closed reviews within the Review Writing, Calibration, and Sharing phases. After reopening a review, the reviewer will be able to change all of their previously entered feedback without having to write a new review from scratch. 

There are two ways you can reopen a review:

Before you start

  • Only admins can reopen reviews. If you are not a Lattice admin, reach out to your internal HR team to reopen your review.
  • When a review is reopened, Lattice sends a notification to the reviewer.  This notification is not optional. Lattice does not notify the reviewee (unless you're reopening a self-review, in which case the employee is both reviewer and reviewee). 
  • If your review cycle is set to an automated schedule, reopening a review will remove that review from the schedule and will stay open until the review has been submitted. 

Reopen a review from the Reviewees tab

  1. Navigate to Admin > Reviews > Performance review.
  2. Enter the desired review cycle.
  3. Within the left-hand navigation panel, enter the Reviews section.
  4. Click into the Reviewees tab.
  5. To open the reviewee context panel, click on the row for the reviewee who is being reviewed and whose reviewer's submitted review will be reopened.
  6. Within the review panel, select Edit next to the review type (Self Review, Direct Report, Manager) of the review you want to reopen.
  7. Select reopen next to the name of the reviewer who needs to edit their review of the reviewee.
  8. Click Finish.
