Overview

After an applicant submits their application form and the payment is successfully processed, they may lose the ability to edit their details. This restriction ensures data integrity and prevents unauthorized changes after submission. However, if any corrections or updates are needed—such as fixing errors in personal details, updating documents, or making necessary modifications—authorized users have the ability to manually update the submitted application.

This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where applicants provide incorrect information, upload the wrong documents, or request changes after submission. It allows you to make necessary adjustments without requiring the applicant to resubmit the entire form, ensuring a smoother and more efficient application management process.

Plan & Permissions

• You must have Edit Applications permissions under Application Manager to make changes.
