Editing Document Content

If you are the owner of a document, you can make changes to that document while it is in the review or approval status.

  1. Find and open the document (see Finding a Document You Are Assigned to Own, Proxy Author, Write, Review, Approve, or Read for help).
  2. At the top of the document window, click Revise, and then click Revise again to confirm.
  1. An alert is displayed informing you that the revised document will be declined and sent back draft, just as if a reviewer or approver had revised the document. Also, any changes you make will be tracked.

Click Revise to continue.

  1. Make your changes, and then click Done Revising.
  1. (Required) In the Done Revising window, type a brief description of what you changed.
  1. (Optional) To start a discussion that includes your revision explanation, click Post to Discussion Board, and then see Working with Document Discussions for details on selecting recipients and making the discussion private.
  2. Click Save, and then click OK.

Important: When the last assigned reviewer is done with the document, it will be returned to draft status. There you can accept your marked changes and any reviewers' changes (see Working with a Revised or Declined Document) and then resubmit the document for review or submit it directly to approval.
