We've introduced the "Enable Private Comment for Review Participants" feature specifically for comments left in the Review Results section of a cycle.
Previous Behavior:
In earlier versions of the review result section, all review templates included both shared and private comment boxes by default. These comments were accessible to reviewers, collaborators, and Teamflect admins, but only the shared comments were visible to the reviewee.
New Behavior:
A new setting, "Enable Private Comment for Review Participants," has been introduced. 
When this feature is disabled, only shared comment boxes are available, visible to the reviewee, reviewer, collaborators, and Teamflect admins. When enabled, an additional private comment box is provided, allowing reviewers and collaborators to leave comments that are hidden from the reviewee and other non-administrative participants.
Impact:
This update provides greater control over the privacy of comments within review processes for Teamflect admins, enhancing flexibility for organizations to tailor feedback visibility according to the organization's needs.See how it works 👇
1. Feature Disabled (Unchecked):
When this setting is not enabled, only one type of comment box is available, ''overall comments by reviewer.'' This box is used for "shared" comments.
Shared comments are visible to all parties involved in the review process, including the reviewee (the person being reviewed), the reviewer (typically the direct manager), any collaborators (other individuals invited to contribute to the review), and Teamflect admins.
2. Feature Enabled (Checked):
Enabling this setting provides two distinct types of comment boxes: one for shared comments and one for private comments.
The shared comment box functions just like the single comment box when the feature is disabled: comments here are visible to the reviewee, the reviewer, collaborators, and admins.
The additional private comment box is exclusively for the reviewer, admins and any collaborators. Comments left in this box are not visible to the reviewee or other non-administrative participants. This allows reviewers and collaborators to share confidential feedback or discuss sensitive topics that may not be suitable for the reviewee to see.
