This will make a copy of your previous submission (with all your previous information) and allow you to edit it prior to submitting it as a new submission.

See Kuali ZenDesk article for additional information.

If you have been designated as an approver on a Kuali Build form, you will be notified by email when you have a submission to review.

You will also be able to see forms you need to approve or acknowledge from your Action List.

When assigned an approval you will be able to approve, deny, or send back the submission to the submitter or a previous reviewer. Approvals typically pause all other steps in a workflow until a decision has been made.

You can also click on the document to open it up and toggle the “View” from “Review” to “Status” to view the workflow progress.
