They help turn your answers into guide-ready leadership language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I have to accept every card?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on the workflow setup. In general, you should only accept cards that are accurate and useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I edit a card before accepting it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, yes. Edit the card so it sounds like you and reflects what you mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens when I accept a card?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Accepted cards may be used to build your Leadership Compass Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can my Facilitator see my reflection cards?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If assigned and configured, a Facilitator may be able to review your cards and provide feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can my Leader see my reflection cards?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leader visibility should usually focus on progress, not private reflection content, unless your organization has configured access differently or you choose to share content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is my pillar still incomplete?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may still need to answer a required question, finish the final step, or accept reflection cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My answers did not save.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Return to the pillar, confirm required fields are complete, and save again. If the issue continues, contact your Facilitator or Champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflection cards did not generate.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm that the pillar is fully complete. If cards still do not appear, contact your Facilitator, Champion, or support contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I accepted cards but my dashboard did not update.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Refresh the dashboard and confirm all required cards for the pillar were accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A card does not sound like me.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Edit it before accepting.
