Respond to a document marked Needs attention

Read the related request before supplying a correction.

Updated 2026-11-11

Needs attention represents a document that needs clarification or replacement. Open Details and history and the related request or workflow to understand what needs correcting.

Check the note and filename, then compare the request with the actual file. A missing page, incorrect period, unclear scan, or wrong company can require different corrections. Do not assume every warning means the whole document must be deleted.

If a replacement is requested, follow the team’s current instructions and supported upload path. Identify the original file and explain what changed so the reviewer can distinguish the correction from an unrelated upload.

The document register’s status filter does not include every possible badge. Use Any status when looking for a file marked Needs attention, then narrow by filename or service. Receipt of another file does not automatically prove that the issue is resolved. Wait for the relevant review outcome, and keep the original source until the team confirms the correction is sufficient.
