After selecting employees, a new tab labeled Import Additional Contributors will appear.

Upload your completed contributor template file.

The template typically includes:

Employee being reviewed
Contributors assigned to provide feedback
Relationship type (peer, manager, etc.)
Review categories such as Goals, Competencies, or Questions

If you are not using certain review sections, you can remove the relevant columns from the template before uploading.

For example:

Delete the Goals column if your review does not include goal evaluations.
Delete the Competencies column if competencies are not part of your review structure.
