# A planner accidentally submitted before they were ready, and they need to make more changes. Can I reopen planning for them?

Short answer - yes! 👍  
As a Pequity company admin, you will be able to reopen planning for planners if they need to make further changes after submitting/approving their recommendations. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the **Cycle Settings** section of your Comp Cycle on the Admin dashboard

2. Click on the **Planning Hierarchy** tab of the Cycle Settings

3. Find the group or planner that submitted their recommendations by filtering the **Status** column to "Submitted."
   
     - The **Submitted** status means the planner of the associated group has formally submitted their recommendations by selecting the "submit all" button for that group when planning. This status means that the associate group/planner cannot make further edits to their group.  
       ![Screenshot 2026-06-04 at 4.34.20 AM](https://helpcenter.pequity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-04%20at%204.34.20%20AM.png?width=584&height=190&name=Screenshot%202026-06-04%20at%204.34.20%20AM.png)
     - The **Not submitted** status means the planner of the associated group has not submitted their recommendations, meaning they have not selected the "approve all" button for that group.  
       ![Screenshot 2026-06-04 at 4.35.22 AM](https://helpcenter.pequity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-06-04%20at%204.35.22%20AM.png?width=584&height=152&name=Screenshot%202026-06-04%20at%204.35.22%20AM.png)
4. Once you have found the group that you would like to reopen planning for, click on the **Submitted** status and a dropdown will appear. Toggle the group to **Not submitted**, then hit save. Toggle the **"Active"** button to on to ensure that they will have edit access. You will then be asked if you would like to send out an email notifying the planners and/or planning partners that their group has been opened.
