# Admins: Confirm Employee Data Before a Review Cycle

## Ensure departments, roles, and managers are correct

Before launching a review cycle, make sure your employee data in Zal.ai is accurate and up to date. Incorrect data directly affects how your review cycle runs.

**This article is relevant to:** Admins

**Feature:** *Settings*

## What to Check

**Department** – Determines which employees are included if you're segmenting your cycle by team.

**Role** – Determines what each person can see and do.

**Manager** – The manager assigned to each employee is the person responsible for completing their performance review. It's important these relationships are correct.

## Steps to Review Employee Data

1. Navigate to *Settings* → *Users*.
2. Click **Export** to download your full user list.
3. Review the data in the exported file.
4. Make updates as needed (see below).

## Making Updates

**One-off changes:** Click on a person's name and update their settings directly.

**Bulk updates:** Edit the exported file and re-upload it using the **Import** option.

**Tip:** Complete this verification at least a week before launching your review cycle to give yourself time to fix any issues.
