Adding Manual Achievements

Capture achievements that happened outside Manager Toolkit on a Performance Review timeline.

Last updated April 2026

Not everything important happens inside Manager Toolkit. A conference talk, a customer compliment, a major external delivery — capture them as manual entries on the Timeline.

Adding an entry

On the Timeline tab of a Performance Review, click Add Entry in the panel header.
Fill in the prompt: title (required), date (required, defaults to today), and an optional description.

Manual entries appear on the Timeline alongside the auto-pulled bubbles, with a green pencil icon and a "Note:" prefix.

Editing or deleting

Hover a manual entry bubble to reveal edit and delete buttons. Edit lets you tweak the title, date or description; delete removes it from the timeline (with no confirmation).

When to use a manual entry vs a comment

  • Manual entry — a discrete event with a date (e.g. "Spoke at internal engineering all-hands"). Sorts into the chronological timeline.
  • Comment — a running note about the review as a whole (e.g. "Need to discuss promotion case at next 1:1"). Posted as a right-aligned chat bubble at the time you write it.
