Reopen a Review

Admins have the ability to reopen submitted or closed performance 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 performance review:

• Reopen a review from the Reviewees tab
• Reopen a review from the Reviewers tab

Before you start

• Only admins can reopen performance reviews if the review requests settings have been set to manual. If you are not a Lattice admin and cannot see the Reopen button, reach out to your internal HR team to reopen your review.
• When a performance 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.
