How to Add or Remove Contributors on Any 1:1 as an Admin
By Jamie AquilaLast updated Mar 4, 2026
Admins can now add or remove contributors on any 1:1 review, not just their own — useful for team transitions, mentoring, and HR documentation.
Contributors are additional people who can view and provide input on a 1:1 review — such as a previous manager, a mentor, or a project lead. Normally, only the manager who owns the 1:1 can add or remove contributors. As an admin, you now have the ability to manage contributors on any 1:1 in your organization.
Finding the 1:1
Go to Settings from the admin menu.
Open the One-on-Ones section to see the full list of 1:1s.
Click View on the 1:1 you want to update.
Adding a Contributor
On the 1:1 detail page, click the Add Contributors button (the blue button with a + icon). This opens the same contributor modal that managers use.
Click Add Contributors.
Search for the person you want to add.
Select them from the results and confirm.
The contributor will receive a notification email letting them know they have been added.
Removing a Contributor
To remove a contributor, scroll down on the 1:1 detail page to the contributor list. Click the remove button next to the contributor you want to remove. They will no longer have access to the 1:1.
Important Notes
Only tenant admins and the 1:1 manager can manage contributors. Regular users and the team member on the 1:1 cannot add or remove contributors.
Contributors have read-only access to the 1:1 — they can view talking points and feedback but cannot edit them.
Notification emails are sent automatically when a contributor is added, regardless of whether it was done by the manager or an admin.
Common Use Cases
A previous manager should provide input on an ongoing review after a team change
A project lead needs visibility into a 1:1 to give context on performance
A mentor has been paired with an employee and should have access to the review
HR needs to add themselves as a contributor for documentation purposes
