Sometimes, a cover may need to be unlocked after it has already been submitted. Super Admins have the ability to unapprove a cover when changes are required.

📝 How to Unapprove a Cover

1. Go to the Ladder.
   
   

2. Scroll to the cover(s) you need to unapprove.
   
   

3. Click the 🔒 Lock icon (located where the settings icon was before submission).
   
   

4. Select 🔓 Unapprove.
   
   

5. The cover will now be unlocked 🔓 and editable by the adviser.

📄 After You Unapprove

• The adviser will regain editing access to the cover.
  
  

• Any previously issued PDF proof is no longer final, and a new proof will be generated once the cover is re-submitted.
  
  

🔍 Best Practices for Super Admins

• 🗣️ Communicate clearly with the adviser before unapproving so they understand why changes are needed.
  
  

• ⏳ Keep deadlines in mind — unapproving may delay production.
  
  

• 🖼️ Encourage a final review before the adviser re-submits to avoid multiple unapprovals.
  
  

⚠️ Note: Unapproving a cover should only be done when absolutely necessary to avoid delays and potential rework costs.
