# Nominate peer reviewers

> Choose and create peer reviewer nominations.

## Who can nominate peers

The cycle's [peer nomination settings](/features/performance-reviews/peer-nominations) control who can nominate reviewers. With **Everyone**, you can nominate peers for yourself. The other options limit nominations to managers and cycle admins, or to cycle admins only.

Managers can create and track nominations for reviewees in their saved cycle reporting line. Cycle admins can do this for every reviewee assigned to the peer stage.

## Who can be nominated

Choose an active employee who is also an active workspace member. They can be on another team and do not need to receive a review in this cycle.

You cannot nominate yourself, your direct manager, or your direct report.

## Review suggested reviewers

Windmill suggests reviewers based on collaboration scores from the previous 90 days. You can add one suggestion, add all suggestions shown, or search for someone else.

## Create nominations

Add reviewers in the peer nominations view or through the Windy nomination chat. Each nomination is saved as soon as you add the reviewer. There is no separate list to submit.

The nomination becomes **Pending Approval** or **Approved**, based on the approval settings, your role, and the limits. Both statuses count toward nomination progress. Only approved nominations count toward the nomination limits.

You can add nominations after the nomination deadline, but not after the peer feedback deadline or when the peer stage is inactive.
