Check and submit

Complete all required questions. Read each answer before you submit. If you changed a submitted review, select Resubmit review to update the submitted answers.

​
Refer to the context report while you write

You can refer to the Context report in the side panel while you write your answers. Use it to find examples from the review period. You can also open tabs such as 1:1s when they appear. For a manager review, submitted self, peer, and upward feedback can help you assess the work. With several peer or upward responses, use Insights for a combined view or Responses to read each response. Context becomes part of your submitted review only when you use it in an answer. See Windy and review context.

Get help with an answer

Use Windy chat to discuss an example or ask Windy to change an answer. Use quick edits to change existing text. You can move between the form and Windy. Both use the same saved answers.
