Manage IDP
After creating IDPs, admins can track and manage employees' development plans, managers can do the same for their team members, and employees can monitor their own plans to ensure alignment with their growth goals.
💡Tip: Employees can manage their IDP, regardless of who creates it.
Click the Overflow 
Menu on an IDP for additional actions.
- Mark as Complete: Update the IDP by marking it as complete.
- Edit: Modify the IDP.
- Put on Hold: Temporarily pause progress on an IDP and resume it later.
After putting an IDP on hold, click Resume IDP to continue it.
📒Note: Pausing an IDP disables its milestones, but you can still add new ones.

After marking an IDP as complete, you can reactivate it and add milestones if required. Learn more in Make IDP active.

In the Development Plans field, click Nudge, type your message, and click Send.
By actively managing IDPs, admins and managers can play a key role in supporting their employees' career development and aligning their growth with organizational goals.
