What happens to signoffs when I republish a job?

Substantial vs minor changes

When a job is republished, you have two options for how to handle completed signoffs:

• For substantial changes, you can request signoff again.

• For more minor changes like fixing a typo, you can grant signoff instead. The user won’t receive a new request. Granting signoff reverts the status back to Current.

The option to grant signoff is only available for employees who signed off on the previous version. We cancel pending requests when a job is republished, so for those employees you’ll need to request signoff again.

5. Point to a user and click the 3-dot icon.
