  • Review Template: Review templates include the questions reviewers should respond to when completing their reviews for each review group. Searchlight has added standard reviews to your company library to use for reflections. You will find these when you navigate to Assessments > Reviewer Surveys OR Assessments > Reviewee Surveys
