## Approving a form response

As an approver, you will receive a notification and a task that you need to approve a form response. Clicking the task, will take you the profile tab where you can review and then **Approve** or **Request Changes** using the buttons at the bottom of the form.

## Requesting changes

When requesting changes, the approver must leave a **comment** with details of what should be changed. Once they have added a comment, they can click **request changes.**

After the changes are requested, the submitter will receive a notification and a task that they need to make changes to the submitted form response. Clicking on that notification will take them to the form response, where they can click **make changes **and edit the contents of the form and click **Resumbit** to restart the approval process. This may continue until the form response is approved.
