When your changes are ready, submit the change request. A reviewer then approves it, sends it back, or rejects it.

## Start a change request

1. Open a page in the space and click **Edit**.
2. In the **New change request** dialog, enter a **Title**.
3. Enter a **Description**, if you like. Reviewers see it at the top of the review.
4. Click **Start editing**.

In an empty space, Wiki skips the dialog and names the change request "Add initial content".

Your changes save while you type. The sidebar shows a card with the title of the change request, its status and the number of changed pages. To change the title or the description, click the title on the card.

3. Click **Submit**.

The status changes to `In Review` and the review page opens. The space goes back to read mode for you. Your changes are still not live.

**Submit for review** is not available until all changes are saved and all uploads are complete. Hover over the button to see the reason. A change request that has no changes cannot be submitted.

## What happens next

Anyone who can read the space can open your change request and see the changes. A user with Write access to the space reviews it. To ask a specific person, a reviewer or a Wiki Manager can assign it to them. See [Review a change](/wiki/change-requests/review-a-change). You get a notification when a reviewer approves, requests changes, rejects or merges your change request.

## Withdraw

You can take back a change request that is `In Review`.

1. Open the change request.
2. Click **Withdraw**.

The status goes back to `Draft`. Open the space to continue to edit.

## Edit after you submit

You can change a change request that is `In Review` or `Approved`.

1. Open the change request.
2. Click the **Edit** button (the pencil icon).
3. Make your changes. They save while you type.
4. Click **Save** to go back to the review.

:::caution
If you edit an `Approved` change request, it goes back to `In Review`. A reviewer must approve it again.

## Changes requested

When a reviewer requests changes, the status changes to `Changes Requested`. Open the space. The sidebar card shows the feedback of the reviewer.
