Submit for Approval

Once your change request has at least one action, you can submit it for approval. Submitting moves the change from draft to pending_approval and locks editing until a reviewer acts on it.

Before you start

• The change request must be in draft or rejected status.
• At least one change action must be added. You cannot submit without actions.
• Review your actions before submitting — once in pending_approval, you cannot edit the change until a reviewer acts.

Steps

1. Open the change request you want to submit.
2. Review the change plan — confirm the target device, all actions, and the intended values are correct.
3. Click Submit for Approval.
4. Confirm the submission when prompted.

What happens next

• The change request status moves to pending_approval.
• The change can no longer be edited until a reviewer approves or rejects it.
• A reviewer will see the change in their pending approvals queue.
• You will be notified when the change is approved or rejected.

If the change is rejected

A rejected change returns to a state where you can edit it. Review the reviewer's feedback, update your actions or description, and resubmit. The full history of submissions and rejections is preserved on the change request.
