In Teamflect Reviews, you can control who can see each attachment. This is useful when you want to share supporting documents with the reviewee, keep them available only to managers and admins, or restrict them to admins entirely.
Attachment visibility options
When you click the arrow icon next to an attachment, you can choose from three visibility levels:
Visibility option | Reviewee | Reviewer | Reviewee's manager & managers above them | Teamflect admins |
Visible to reviewee, manager, managers above them, and admins | ✅ Visible | ✅ Visible | ✅ Visible | ✅ Visible |
Visible to manager, managers above them, and admins | ❌ Not visible | ✅ Visible | ✅ Visible | ✅ Visible |
Visible to admins only | ❌ Not visible | ❌ Not visible | ❌ Not visible | ✅ Visible |
When does each option apply?
Visible to reviewee, manager, managers above them, and admins
Use this when the attachment should be shared with the employee being reviewed as well as their management hierarchy and Teamflect admins. The reviewee can access the attachment when the review is visible to them.Visible to manager, managers above them, and admins
Use this for documents that should remain available to the reviewer and management hierarchy but should not be shown to the reviewee. This is useful for manager-only or confidential review materials.Visible to admins only
Use this for highly confidential documents that should be restricted to Teamflect administrators. Neither the reviewee nor managers can access the attachment.
Note: The review's overall visibility and workflow can also affect when the reviewee can access review content. For example, if a review is configured to remain hidden from the reviewee, attachments that are otherwise visible to the reviewee will not become accessible until the review itself is available to them. Teamflect's review configuration includes controls for hiding review content from the reviewee and for determining when review results are released.
Who can change an attachment's visibility?
Reviewers and Teamflect admins can change an attachment's visibility. This allows sensitive documents to be kept restricted during the review and made available to the appropriate participants when needed.
How to Change Attachment Visibility
Navigate to the review containing the attachment.
Click on the arrow icon next to the attachment.
Adjust the visibility setting as needed.
This enhancement provides greater flexibility and security for your review process.
Beneficial Use Cases
A reviewer or admin uploads a confidential document but wants to delay its visibility—so they adjust the attachment’s settings until the right moment, helping manage sensitive information securely.
During a performance review, the reviewer toggles attachment visibility to control exactly when the reviewee can access feedback, ensuring the process remains organized and intentional.
A reviewer temporarily hides an attachment, then makes it visible later—offering flexibility when timing or context matters in sharing important files.
