    Hello,


    My team utilizes JotForm for reports, that first must be approved by a manager. If the manager denies it for edits, is there a way the user can made those edits in their already submitted form, or do they need to start over?

    Hi La,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Let me show you how:

    If a manager denies a submission for edits, the user does not need to start over. You can allow users to update their entries by sending them an edit link. This can be done by adding the {edit_link} tag to the autoresponder email in your form settings. Once the user receives this email, they can use the link to edit and resubmit their form.

    This way, the user can make the necessary changes without starting from scratch.
