Editing a Draft Document

You can freely make changes to a document's properties and contents for as long as it remains in draft status.

Notes:

Documents submitted to writers that are still in the collaboration status are considered draft documents and are completely editable by document owners.
For instructions on editing a document after it has been returned to draft after one or more reviewers or approvers have revised or declined it, see Working with a Revised or Declined Document.
As the document owner, you can make changes to the document even after submitting it for review. See Editing Document Content for details.

To edit a draft document, find it in the draft or collaboration status, and then open it (see Finding a Document in a Specific Status if you need help). You can then add or change any of the following:

Document content (see Writing a Document (Windows) or Writing a Document (Mac))
Document properties (see Assigning Document Properties)
File attachments and web address links (see Attaching Files and Adding Reference Links)
Questionnaire (see Creating a Questionnaire)
Documents to be replaced (see Designating a Document to Be Replaced)

Be sure to save your changes.
