What settings are frozen once review cycle is launched?

When a review cycle is launched on Keka, certain settings become locked to ensure the review process is fair and consistent. Locking these elements helps maintain the integrity of the review, preventing any mid-cycle changes that could impact the evaluation process. This approach safeguards the transparency of employee assessments, fostering trust among participants. Planning ahead allows for a smooth review process without the need for adjustments later.
