If a performance review has Allow review edits turned on, you can reopen an evaluation you already submitted, change your answers and submit it again. This works until the review ends or until the action plan for that person is submitted. Scores and AI insights update automatically after each resubmission.

Before you start

• The review owner must turn on Allow review edits in Edit > Features ("Participants can reopen and update their submitted reviews until the review period ends").
• The review must be Active.

Step by step

1. Go to Performance > Reviews and open the review.
2. Open My reviews (the Reviews card) and click the submitted evaluation.
3. Click Edit. A warning appears: "Unsaved changes — You're editing a submitted review. Changes aren't saved automatically; make sure to click 'Submit' after editing, or your changes will be lost."
4. Change your answers.
5. Click Submit.
6. Confirm in "You are about to edit your review" ("Once re-submitted, you can still edit your answers until the end of the review period").
7. The evaluation shows Last submitted on: <date>.

 Rules and behavior

• If you edit a submitted evaluation, then your changes are not saved until you click Submit again. Leaving the page discards them.
• If you resubmit a self review and Grant managers early access to responses is on, then your manager gets the email "<name> republished their self-review".
• If you resubmit, then the evaluation stays Published the whole time, so the participation rate doesn't drop.
• If you resubmit, then the person's score, competency results and AI insights are recalculated.
• If the action plan for the person has been submitted, then the self review and manager review can no longer be edited.
• If the review is Finished, then nobody can edit submitted evaluations.

Troubleshooting

• Symptom: "There is no Edit option on my submitted review." → Cause: Allow review edits is off, the review is Finished, or the action plan was submitted. → Fix: ask the review owner; edits are only possible while the review is Active and before the action plan is submitted.
• Symptom: "My changes disappeared." → Cause: you left without clicking Submit. → Fix: edit again and click Submit.
• Symptom: "Cannot republish evaluation. It must be published, the review must be active, and the action plan must not be submitted." → Cause: one of those conditions isn't met. → Fix: check the review status and the action plan.
