Admins can edit a review template. The aspects of a template that can be edited will depend on the status of the template they wish to change.
Before you start
Note: Lattice recommended questions, In Use Competency questions, and In Use Goal questions cannot be edited.
Changes will be applied to the question bank and template bank for future uses of this question. If an active review cycle is already using this question, the previous version will remain unless changes are made through the review cycle’s settings. To edit a template or question for an active review cycle, see Edit a Question in an Active Review Cycle.
Template statuses
The ability to edit a template depends on the status of the template. Templates have one of three statuses:
- In Use: an In Use template has been used in a review cycle. Contains only In Use questions.
- Draft: a Draft template has not been used in a review cycle. May contain both In Use and Draft questions
- Lattice recommended Template: a Lattice default template that includes Lattice recommended questions
