Once you have confirmed your team members, you will be asked to complete whatever Performance Review Fields have been tied to this Review "Start Form," such as a "Review Period Start" field or a "Review Period End" field. After completing this, hit the blue "Start Review" button in the bottom right corner of the pop-out.

You will be redirected to a screen where you can see the progress of the reviews you just started. The Team Members you have started this review for will be notified that they have tasks to complete in their GoCo Inbox & through email. You can return to the "Overview" tab of your Performance Management module anytime you wish to monitor the progress.

It's important to note that once your review template is published and sent to an employee, any changes you make to the template will not be applied to reviews that are already in progress. To see these changes take effect, you will need to republish the template, delete the old instances, and then send your newly published review. 

For any additional questions, please reach out to help@goco.io.

Happy Reviewing! 💚
