How do I update my request after it's been sent?

PERSUIT allows you to easily update and make changes to your published request at most stages of the request process. 

At the top of the request you’d like to update, click the Edit Request button. 

Select the Update Request option once the Edit Request menu is expanded. A confirmation pop-up will then ask you to confirm your decision to update the request. Press Confirm to move on to the drafting screen.

In the drafting screen, you’ll be required to leave a Clarification note describing any changes you’re making to the request. There is currently no way to update the request without leaving a clarification.

If you decide you no longer wish to update your request, you can delete your draft. Click the vertical ellipses (three dots) at the top right to find the Delete button. This will only delete your updated draft, not the entire request that has already been published.

When all the changes have been made and the clarification has been detailed, you can publish your update by clicking Send Update found at the top right.

You’ll know the update has been sent successfully because you’ll find the newly created Clarification in the Matter tab at the top of the request details. 

When can't you update the Request?
