## Troubleshooting

If the sidebar is not visible when navigating to appraisal pages, verify that:
1. The pages are using the proper layout structure with Header and Sidebar components
2. The navigation paths are correct (should be `/appraisals/...` not `/appraisal/...`)
3. The required features exist in the database

2. Appraisals are assigned to employees with their managers
3. Employees fill out self-assessment and submit
4. Managers review and provide feedback
5. HR finalizes the appraisal
